As we continue to heed God´s call, we continue to do our work as church as we respond to the needs of our families and communities. We continue to stand and abide this moment. We are grateful to the essential workers, those recognized and those who are not being acknowledged. Those whose very lives continue to stand with us. We denounce, in the spirit of the tradition of our prophets, their passion and compassion and the all encompassing vision of our brother and Lord Jesus. We announce and embody that vision. We walk the word.

Good Shepherd Celebrates the NYC Marathon!
On Sunday, November 3rd, in honor of the New York City Marathon event, our worship service began earlier than normal, at 9:30am. We opened our doors to the community and the race participants, welcoming everyone into our church with coffee, refreshments and so they can use the bathrooms. This was a celebration of the Marathon, our community and our church. Recently, Good Shepherd hosted a number Marathon runners and their families. Many of those runners had a solemn purpose for participating in the Marathon: to remember their disappeared loved ones in Mexico. |

G.I.F.T. Meeting
The exploratory meeting for the G.I.F.T. (Growing in Faith Together) program held on Wednesday evening drew an unexpectedly large response, and we shared many great dreams and visions for providing spiritual and educational resources to the children and youth in our Good Shepherd Community. In all, the meeting was evidence of both the interest and the importance of such a venture. We will hold an additional meeting on Thursday, 9/19 aimed at developing programs and activities so that in October we can roll them out. We look forward to fulfilling our promise and vision as a church to be the Good News for our congregation and community. |
