In an age when most of us live digitally, Sam beckons us to the incarnate life and asks us to engage our selves, souls, and bodies with Jesus as we travel toward the empty tomb.

    The Episcopal Church Reports to the 80th General Convention Otherwise known as The Blue Book Volume 1 Reports of the Committees, Commissions, Agencies, and Boards to The General Convention of The Episcopal Church Baltimore, in the State and Diocese of Maryland July 7th – 14th, 2022 Copyright © 2021 The Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America Office of the General Convention 815 Second Avenue New York, New York 10017 Preface A.D. 2021 A few years ago, a meme appeared showing a neighborhood map with a drawing of a steepled church building labeled, “This is not a church.” Nearby were drawings of streets, shops, hospitals, and houses – each one with the caption, “This is the church.” If we didn’t already know, the years since the 79th General Convention have certainly surprised us with that insight. When a pandemic causes the cessation of public worship and a severe limitation of traditional sacramental and public ministries of the church, existential questions become as common as musings on the weather. What is the church when familiar milestones and measures become meaningless? What is the church when people are sick and dying around the world, and social divisions impede healing and comforting the sick and dying? What is the church when racial injustice is exposed at every level and in every structure of society? What is the church when truth becomes as fluid as Pilate’s fateful pondering? We will continue to answer these questions, but the global crisis caused by the emergence of Covid-19 concentrated our minds.

  • In the Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ!
    THE CHURCH OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD A Parish of the Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania The Third Sunday in Lent March 7, 2021 Sung Mass 10:30 a.m. WELCOME IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST! Whoever you are, wherever you have come from, and for whatever reason God has brought you here, we are glad you have joined us today to worship the living God. If the Episcopal liturgy is new to you, we hope this leaflet will be helpful in your participation; over time, the service will become more familiar to you. Should you have any questions about the service, the Episcopal Church, or this parish church, please speak with Father Kyle. We hope you will introduce yourself at the Tower door following Mass; we’d love to get to know you better! PREPARING FOR WORSHIP Please silence all mobile devices during the liturgy so that we can enter into a time of reverent prayer. The complete Order of Mass, including readings from Holy Scripture, are found in this leaflet. The portions spoken or sung by the congregation are found in bold print. Please feel free to take this leaflet home with you. ABOUT LITURGY AT GOOD SHEPHERD Worship at the Church of the Good Shepherd is rooted in the Catholic expression of faith as found in the Episcopal Church, a part of the wider Anglican Communion. During the pro- gram year, Mass is sung, and we use incense. We believe that our bodies are important in our lives of faith. We sit, stand, kneel, make the sign of the cross, and use other ways of praying with our bodies.
