Weekly Worship Services
Sunday Services
Sunday-worship is the central focus of the Church of the Good Shepherd! Our services accent the liturgical calendar and these Sunday services are Eucharistic-centered. Sunday services are held at 8:00 AM, 9:15 and 11:00 AM. Since our congregation values both the liturgy of the church and the Holy Eucharist, we incorporate each into our Sunday services. Througout the year we alternate Rite I and Rite II. The 8:00 service has no music. The 9:15 service has opening and closing hymns only. Kids are welcome in church, though there is no nursery at 9:15. The 11:00 service has full music and a choir. Childcare is provided for the Sunday School (10:10 AM) through the 11:00 service.
