Church at Worship |
Good Shepherd is a liturgical church. We sing hymns and liturgy, we pray, we give thanks, we hear God's Word, and we receive Holy Communion every Sunday.
On the first Sunday of the month we have a Joyful Noise (contemporary) service with music by the Joyful Noise Makers. It is a different counterpoint to our regular services.
The sanctuary is air conditioned.
Nursery Care
Nursery care for children (infant--kindergarten) is provided on Sundays from 10:15 a.m. to 12 noon.
Handicapped Accessible
With the addition of our elevator, Good Shepherd is handicapped accessible.
Become a Member of Good Shepherd
We offer new member classes in the Fall and in the Spring. Led by Pastor Spencer, the sessions consist of background readings on what it means to be a Lutheran, two informal classes before worship, and one class and lunch after worship. The purpose of the class is to introduce you to Good Shepherd and your new church family. As part of this introduction, we ask members of our congregation to act as your "Good Shepherds," to help you get to know other members as well as show you how can contribute your time and talent to the congregation (for example, as a member of our choir, or by serving on one of our many committees).
If you're interested in joining our family in Christ, please contact the Church Office.
