FOR OUR NEIGHBORS

Be the Church Beyond Our Walls this Labor Day Weekend

Labor Day Weekend is more than just a holiday—it’s an incredible opportunity for Good Shepherd to show up for our neighbors with joy, love, and purpose.

We're partnering with the Naperville Jaycees for the city’s annual Last Fling, and we’re inviting everyone to be part of this meaningful moment.

This is your chance to live out our mission in three powerful ways:

Worship in the Heart of the City

Outdoor Worship on the Last Fling Main Stage Downtown Naperville
Sunday, August 31 at 9:30am

Experience a powerful morning of worship—public, joyful, and centered in downtown Naperville. Let’s lift high the name of Jesus where our neighbors live, work, and gather.
If you’re planning to worship with Good Shepherd at the Last Fling and need a ride to and from downtown Naperville, please register below!
Space is limited, so sign up now to reserve your seat.

Buses will depart promptly from Door 1 at 8:50 AM — please arrive by 8:40 AM to get checked in and seated.

  • Bring your own folding chairs
  • Wear your Good Shepherd T-shirt
  • Show up ready to celebrate our faith together as one community.
  • Buses will depart 20 minutes after the conclusion of the service to return to Good Shepherd

Volunteer & Make an Impact

Filling needed shifts at Last Fling
Friday, August 29 — Monday, September 1

We’ve committed to providing 50 volunteers to support the Last Fling. These essential roles are assigned by the Naperville Jaycees and help make the entire weekend possible.

Whether you serve for a few hours or a full day, your joyful presence reflects Christ’s love in action.
