This newsletter is sent weekly by the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd to keep parish members and friends informed of current activities at the church. In this edition: Pentecost – May 11 Mother’s Day Pot Luck Lunch – May 11 Outreach Committee Meeting – May 12 How YOU can help – Donate flowers Special requests Coming Attractions The Day of Pentecost – May 11 – 8:00 am & 10:00 am Eucharists “On this day The Holy Spirit came down from heaven, lighting upon the disciples, to teach them and to lead them into all truth; uniting peoples of many tongues in the confession of one faith, and giving to your Church the power to serve you as a royal priesthood, and to preach the Gospel to all nations.” (BCP, page 380) RED is the liturgical color for Pentecost. Let’s wear red in celebration. Mother’s Day – May 11 Calling all mothers. Join us as we commemorate the women who have had important places in our lives. AND stay for the covered-dish lunch. Covered-dish Lunch – Worsham Hall - After 10:00am Eucharist Wouldn’t it be great if everyone brought their favorite covered dish, picked up something at the store, or just came and joined the festivities of Pentecost and Mother’s Day? Outreach Committee Meeting – May 12 - 6:00pm We will continue planning our ministries to others. This meeting is open to all.
