Worshipping With Us

Welcome! Episcopal worship is participatory. We stand, we kneel, we speak, sometimes we sing! Please join in at your level of comfort. If you’d like to learn more about what we as Episcopalians believe or if you have any ques-tions, please fill out one of the yellow cards in the pew and give it to Mother Susan or one of our ushers. We hope you feel welcome here and that you will come back often to feed your faith.

A Word About Receiving

Communion in the Episcopal Church

All are invited to the Altar to receive. If you would like a blessing, just cross your arms over your chest. If you decide to receive only the bread, extend your hand for the wafer and cross your arms over your chest to de-cline the wine. For the wine or grape juice you may guide the chalice to your lips by placing your hand gently on the chalice’s base and guiding it. Or you can dip your host (wafer) into the wine. Or you can give the host to the Lay Eucharistic Minister, who will dip the host into the wine and place it in your mouth.

FOOD PANTRY

Next week, May 16th & 17th we are collecting Cereal for

the Pitman Food Pantry. All donations are greatly ap-

preciated and accepted. Since we are not at the church

on the weekends you could bring your donations directly

to the pantry or Sue Burkhard's house. Pantry hours -

Tuesdays 6 to 7, Wednesdays 4 to 5, Thursdays 12 to

1.

During this time of uncertainty, please know that Church of the Good Shepherd will al-ways be here for you. Please email us or phone in your prayers so Mother Susan and Deacon Carl can pray for you specifically if you desire. Both of them are calling parish-ioners to check up on you and see how you are doing. We want to thank you all for con-tinuing to support Good Shepherd by mailing in your pledges.
