Palm Sunday - Passion Gospel
| passion_gospel.pdf |
We are suspending all meetings and activities at Good Shepherd during the State of Emergency declared by Gov. Phil Scott. Although this may seem extreme, it is our Christian way to "love our neighbors as we love ourselves," and stop the spread of the coronavirus.
At Good Shepherd, we will pray for the health of all, especially the vulnerable the medical personnel and first responders, we will educate ourselves and others on how to stay healthy and the needs of the vulnerable, and we will act to support and comfort others during this time.
