Church of the Good Shepherd

Church of the Good Shepherd (Good Shepherd, Galax) is a joint Episcopal-Lutheran parish at 9441 Grayson Parkway, Galax, Virginia, in the Baywood area between Galax and Independence. This wiki gathers the parish's public website pages and its calendar of events. The entity page good-shepherd-galax is the hub that nearly every source links to.

The ingested material is mostly the 2026 calendar, from August through December. It covers Sunday worship in both Episcopal and Lutheran forms (Holy Eucharist, Morning Prayer, Service of the Word, lay-led worship, and special services such as Indigenous Day and a Christmas Eve service). It also covers committee and governance meetings (Vestry Council, Building & Grounds, Outreach, Hospitality, Care & Concerns, Worship & Liturgy), weekly Bible study, and sexton cleaning days.

The calendar also records community and outreach events: Yoga at COGS sessions, Blessing of the Animals, Oktoberfest, Love the Church Day, a Water Mission Trip to Charleston, SC, a Baywood Search & Rescue fundraiser, an ELCA-linked service project, Formation Day, and Fall Mission Day. The parish's food-forest-garden permaculture initiative is documented as a creation-care concept.

Parish website pages provide the practical basics: the home page (page-1000149) with the Mark 12:31 verse and Zoom attendance information, driving directions (page-1000482), and a visitor guide (page-1000487). The catalog was truncated, so some pages are not listed here.
