Good Shepherd Sunday!  In-Person and Online!!

Alleluia!  Christ is risen!
The Lord is risen indeed.  Alleluia!

Join us for our service of Holy Eucharist and Spiritual Communion for the 4th Sunday of Easter, an extra special service for us, as it is our namesake Sunday.  Good Shepherd Sunday is the day we hear about Jesus the Good Shepherd, recite the 23rd Psalm, and sing our favorite shepherd hymns.

Thanks be to God that the COVID numbers in Clarke County continue to remain low and we can worship again in person. 

Our LIVE service begins at 11am. Please come early for COVID check-in, wear your mask, and listen to some joyful prelude music before the service.


If you are more comfortable continuing to keep your distance, we understand. 

You can still join us for online worship, via Zoom, using the following link:

The Collect of the Day:

O God, whose Son Jesus is the good shepherd of your people: Grant that when we hear his voice we may know him who calls us each by name, and follow where he leads; who, with you and the Holy Spirit, lives and reigns, one God, for ever and ever.  Amen.
