OUR CALENDAR FOR THE MONTH
In the heart of the Brooklyn neighborhood of Bay Ridge, a historic Lutheran church stands as a sanctuary for its community and a home for its diverse membership. Now, in this time of pandemic, Good Shepherd Church has opened its doors to serve needs that go well beyond the spiritual. We now operate a food pantry that feeds hundreds of families every week and have hosted several vaccine clinics, providing vital protection to over 2,000 people, many of whom would have no other access.
We invite everyone from Bay Ridge and beyond to join us in our spiritual and public missions. Please donate as generously as you can and contact us with questions, ideas and requests for prayers.
May the peace of God disturb you and may we bring consolation to those afflicted.

Bible Reading for Week
Psalm: Psalm 25:1-10
Show me your ways, O Lord, and teach me your paths. (Ps. 25:4)
1To | you, O Lord,
I lift | up my soul.
2My God, I put my trust in you; let me not be | put to shame,
nor let my enemies triumph | over me.
3Let none who look to you be | put to shame;
rather let those be put to shame | who are treacherous.
4Show me your | ways, O Lord,
and teach | me your paths. R
5Lead me in your | truth and teach me,
for you are the God of my salvation; in you have I trusted all | the day long.
6Remember, O Lord, your compas- | sion and love,
for they are from | everlasting.
7Remember not the sins of my youth and | my transgressions;
remember me according to your steadfast love and for the sake of your good- | ness, O Lord.
8You are gracious and up- | right, O Lord;
therefore you teach sinners | in your way.
9You lead the low- | ly in justice
and teach the low- | ly your way.
10All your paths, O Lord, are steadfast | love and faithfulness
to those who keep your covenant and your | testimonies. R
Gospel: Luke 10:25-37
Jesus is challenged to explain what is involved in obeying the greatest commandment. He tells a parable rich in surprises: those expected to show pity display hard hearts while the lowly give and receive unexpected and lavish mercy.
25Just then a lawyer stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he said, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 26He said to him, “What is written in the law? What do you read there?” 27He answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.” 28And he said to him, “You have given the right answer; do this, and you will live.”
29But wanting to justify himself, he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 30Jesus replied, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead. 31Now by chance a priest was going down that road; and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33But a Samaritan while traveling came near him; and when he saw him, he was moved with pity. 34He went to him and bandaged his wounds, having poured oil and wine on them. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35The next day he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said, ‘Take care of him; and when I come back, I will repay you whatever more you spend.’ 36Which of these three, do you think, was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?” 37He said, “The one who showed him mercy.” Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”

BLOOD DRIVE

BLOOD DRIVE:
On behalf of the patients and hospitals served by New York Blood Center, thank you for hosting your blood drive at the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church Bay Ridge Blood Drive on June 27, 2022. |
We had 23 donors attempt to donate resulting 23 lifesaving blood donations.
You should be proud to know that those 23 units of blood have the potential to help save 69 lives in our community. |
Organizing a blood drive takes tremendous creativity and dedication and we thank you for your support to our mission.
|
Thank you again for hosting your blood drive on June 27, 2022. We only meet our mission thanks to thousands of dedicated blood drive sponsors and your loyal blood donors.
|
It is wonderful to be working with you, Pastor Ruiz and your team that supports all this life-saving activity! I look forward to the next blood drive on July 11, 2022.
