The Parish of the Good Shepherd embraces both traditional and contemporary styles of worship and includes people from many different backgrounds and faith traditions. A worshipping community that reflects the wider world around it, many children, young people, families, and seniors find a spiritual home in the parish as it constantly seeks new ways to share the Good News. Defining features of the Good Shepherd Community are hospitality toward others and a sense of family among its members, creating a space for everyone to grow in faith and in service. Our Sunday worship times are 8:30 am and 11 am. Check Weekly Bulletin or Facebook for upcoming services.
Hospitality consists of ... “the creation of a free space where the stranger can enter and become a friend instead of an enemy. Hospitality is not to change people, but to offer them space where change can take place. It is not to bring men and women over to our side, but to offer freedom not disturbed by dividing lines. It is not to lead our neighbour into a corner where there are no alternatives left, but to open up a wide spectrum of options for choice and commitment." (Henri Nouwen)
“God as love is experienced not in large organizations and institutions but in communities in which people can embrace each other.” (Jürgen Moltmann)
