Good Shepherd Lutheran Church operates Shepherd's Lambs Early Childhood Ministry in order to teach children the love of God and to provide quality childcare and education as a service to the parents in our community.

Established 1999

Our Preschool and Day Care are collecting Campbell's soup labels this school year to obtain some free materials. In addition to soup labels, there are many other labels that can be collected. Please pick up a copy of the entire list and place the labels in the Campbell's soup label container at the Day Care. Ask your friends and family to collect for us too!
