This Bible study is for any woman in transition—those new to being empty nesters, retirement, or any of the many other transitions in life. Together we read different books of the Bible, explore the books’ meaning at the time they were written and how the stories speak to our lives today. Some of us are new to Good Shepherd and others are long-time members, and we are glad to get to know each other and to have companions on the journey. New members are welcome to join us at any time. This group meets September–May.

The Good Shepherd Evensong Choir is a smaller ensemble drawn from the adult choir.
This ensemble sings at Evensong on the second Sunday of every month during the program year. Evening Prayer is the time with the church gathers to give thanks for the day that is ending, and Evensong is an expression of this, unique to the Anglican tradition and a treasure of our church’s heritage.

Education for Ministry (EfM)
2026-01-22 18:30 - 21:00, 2026-01-29 18:30 - 21:00 | Windsor Campus, Vestry Room, 3201 Windsor Road, Austin, TX, 78703, United States
Do you want to learn more about the Bible, Christian tradition and Church History, while nurturing your faith? If so, consider joining Good Shepherd’s Education for Ministry group.
Good Shepherd’s Education for Ministry group (EfM) is a Christian formation program founded and administered through the University of the South at Sewanee. Through study, prayer, worship and reflection, EfM groups journey together through the Hebrew Bible; The New Testament; Church history and Christian ethics and spirituality. Good Shepherd’s mentored group weaves those studies into theological conversations formed by participants’ experience of the world.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of EfM and with it comes an entirely new curriculum. The curriculum now has two tracks, both of which are thought provoking and designed for us to understand our relationship with God and to uncover our gifts in God’s creation. The first track is the classic four-year course, which mirrors the core study areas of a seminary education. The second track is new this year: EfM: Wide Angle. This track is a one-year course that offers an authentic EfM seminar experience while including videos, podcasts, blogs, and a more limited amount of reading than the first track.
The 2025-2026 class is forming now and the commitment for both tracks is one year.
For more information, please contact mentors Bill Davies or Mary Ann Frishman.
