Thank you for your continued musical participation! All are invited to

become a member of the choir simply see the music leader of your

Please watch the bulletin for the upcoming Good Shepherd cantor
training. Those interested in learning to proclaim the Word in song
are encouraged to attend.

* We are looking for more adult catechists to help provide this wonderful
religious experience for the children of our parish - NO teaching experience
is needed! Please contact Laura Wade and Angela Banbury at [email protected]
with any questions. CHILDREN’S LITURGY OF THE WORD

the Homily so they can participate in Holy Communion. Please email clow@

Narthex is ONLY for food items. Please do not
put anything other than food in the cart. We are
asking that nothing be left on the floor around
the cart. If your food donation doesn’t fit in the cart OR you have
non-food items to donate, please drop them off on Monday morning to get a donation letter, or place the donation in the shed once
it’s ready.
