Our Sunday worship service at 10:00 is a celebration of the Eucharist, assisted by one acolyte.   Click here for details of the history and meaning of each portion of the Eucharist.   Two lay readers administer the chalices.   Our wonderful organist and small choir provide mainly traditional music.   The bread offered at the communion is home-baked by one of several volunteers.   Birthdays and anniversaries are celebrated in church with a prayer for the honorees.

A very capable Altar Guild ensures that all necessary preparations are in order for our worship services.  The ministries of being Greeters and Ushers are two more opportunities for our parishioners to participate in Worship at Good Shepherd.   Flowers at the altar are lovingly donated most weeks, and then made into bouquets that are delivered to our shut-in members.
