Time to dust off those crock-pots, everyone! Good Shepherd's annual Chili Cook-Off is back, happening on Saturday, November 30th at 4 PM.

If you are not entering the competition, please bring a side dish or dessert to share.

We recommend bringing a muffin tin to use for the chili tasting! It's highly effective and reduces waste :)

Chili toppings and drinks will be provided. If you would like to bring a bottle of wine or some beer to share, feel free!

Additionally, we will make time at the Cook-Off to assemble care packs for perilously housed in our community. We are excited to partner with The Quiet Place, a ministry helping the local unhoused community, offering them a place and space to escape the cold, use the restroom, use the phone, a place to rest, etc. Colder months are particularly challenging for those who are perilously housed in our community, and the holiday season can be a lonely time for many of these neighbors. We will be collecting items for the care packs leading up to the Cook-Off. Those items are as follows: 

• Boxes of granola bars

• Lighters and boxes of matches

• Small pocket size packs of wipes

• Small carry-on size bottles of hand sanitizer 

• Adult socks

• Hand warmers

• Box of bandaids 

Items can be dropped off in the bin in the lobby. If you have any questions, please feel free to connect with Jackie (jaclyntidwell@gmail.com).
