ROCK - A - THON
Saturday March 28, 2026
9:00am to 2:00pm
28 Trinity Lane Beaver Bank
Join us as we rock (literally in rocking chairs)! Church members are looking for sponsors in the community and then rock to some great Live local music. There’s food galore and the public is welcome to enjoy the music and meet up with friends. We just ask for a donation at the door. If you’d like to sponsor someone rocking that’s welcomed too! The event goes from 9:00am to 2:00pm on Saturday, March 28th. It’s always a great day so hopefully we’ll see you at the Church of the Good Shepherd in Beaver Bank.
Music: Faye Hazel, Julie Gilby, Curtis Fraser and the Lawrence Family

Each year since 2014, we’ve enjoyed a Book Study through the Season of Lent. Each week the group reads a set portion of the book for discussion when we gather. Everyone receives a Book Study Booklet on Ash Wednesday, which serves as a guide throughout. Some weeks you may find that you don’t get the reading done, and that’s OK!

Bible Study to resume following our Lenten Book Study. No previous knowledge of the Bible is necessary, everyone is welcome, If you need help to find and choose a Bible, it will be provided.
