Organists & Pianists

• Good Shepherd is looking for an additional musician to join our worship rotation (about 1–2 Sundays per month).
• If you’d like to share your musical gifts, please contact the church office to sign-up.

We’re happy to share that Erin Bluhm is now officially Good Shepherd’s Children and Family Ministries Coordinator! Many of you have gotten to know Erin while she served in this role on an interim basis over the past year.

Erin is excited to keep creating opportunities for children and families to learn, have fun, and grow in faith together. She looks forward to working with families, teachers, and volunteers as we continue to grow stronger together.

Have a question or an idea for children’s and family ministries? Erin would love to hear from you!
