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, April 18th & 19th we are col-
lecting Jelly for the Pitman Food Pantry.
All donations are greatly appreciated and
accepted.
During this time of uncertainty, please
know that Church of the Good Shepherd
will always 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 parishioners to check up on
you and see how you are doing. We
want to thank you all for continuing to
support Good Shepherd by mailing in
your pledges.

Don't Get Depressed! Get Ready! We Shall Return!
As Christians, we are all about Resurrection. Res-urrection is the very foundation of our faith. After this time of sensibly dodging disease, we shall rise again, stronger than ever! I have no problem celebrating Easter in June, July, or later!
For now, let's be patient, remain prayerful and look forward to celebrating Jesus' resurrection as well as our own. Yes, we are now living a Lenten way of life, but Lent will not, can not last forever. We shall know RESURRECTION!
Blessings, Mother Susan+
