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 us so that we may bring consolation to those afflicted.

​SIGANOS POR FAVOR 
CHRISTMAS' EVE SERVICE

​
The first candle of hope has been lit. As the beloved community, prophetic hope guides our way back home. We as Chistians embark on this new beginning knowing the abiding presence of the redemptive power of God. As we hold one another in prayer we also will gather, virtually and in a limited, socially responsible way, every Wednesday at 7pm as we plunge ourselves in the mystery of God's reconciling and transformative power. We also invite you to mark this holy season with some festivities that we will be holding as we light our Christmas Tree in our Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd, make Christmas cards, and enjoy the ministry of music with our kids and families. Do check in for more details on our website Good Shepherd Church as we celebrate how we birth God in our lives. 

We will gather for four Wednesdays at 7pm in the Soul Cafe. 



Se ha encendido la primera vela de esperanza. Como comunidad amada, la esperanza profética guía nuestro camino de regreso a casa. Nosotros, como cristianos, nos embarcamos en este nuevo comienzo sabiendo la presencia permanente del poder redentor de Dios. Mientras nos abrazamos unos a otros en oración, también nos reuniremos, virtualmente y de una manera limitada y socialmente responsable, todos los miércoles a las 7 pm mientras nos sumergimos en el misterio del poder reconciliador y transformador de Dios. También lo invitamos a marcar esta temporada santa con algunas festividades que realizaremos mientras iluminamos nuestro árbol de Navidad en nuestra Iglesia del Buen Pastor, hacemos tarjetas de Navidad y disfrutamos del ministerio de la música con nuestros niños y familias. Consulte para obtener más detalles en nuestro sitio web Good Shepherd Church mientras celebramos cómo damos a luz a Dios en nuestras vidas.

Nos reuniremos durante cuatro miércoles a las 7 pm en el Soul Cafe.

​Bible Reading for Today

September 10, 2021

Psalm 116:1-9 (NRSV)

1I love the LORD, because he has heard
my voice and my supplications.
2Because he inclined his ear to me,
therefore I will call on him as long as I live.
3The snares of death encompassed me;
the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me;
I suffered distress and anguish.
4Then I called on the name of the LORD:
"O LORD, I pray, save my life!"
5Gracious is the LORD, and righteous;
our God is merciful.
6The LORD protects the simple;
when I was brought low, he saved me.
7Return, O my soul, to your rest,
for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.
8For you have delivered my soul from death,
my eyes from tears,
my feet from stumbling.
9I walk before the LORD
in the land of the living.
