Join us for our special service of prayer and praise as we gather outside in our Meditation Garden to begin the service. We'll sing hymns praising God for creation and then we'll have a Litany of Care for the Earth. After moving inside, we'll celebrate Jesus the Good Shepherd, our namesake, with readings, the 23rd Psalm, and prayers, followed by Holy Eucharist Rite II, for the 4th Sunday of Easter with The Rev. Martha Clark, celebrant and homilist.
Our LIVE service begins at 11am. Masks are now optional for in-person worship, but are still available in the Narthex, with hand sanitizer stationed throughout the church.

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.

An Easter Prayer:
O God, who by the glorious resurrection of your Son Jesus Christ destroyed death and brought life and immortality to light: Grant that we, who have been raised with him, may abide in his presence and rejoice in the hope of eternal glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, be dominion and praise for ever and ever Amen.
