Farewell to Good Shepherd

On May 30^th we held the final worship service at Good Shepherd Church. This 2 ½ hour service is available here. Kent McVey, a gifted piper and dear friend, shared his music along with 2 trumpeters (George Condon and Jason Cote) and our wonderful organist Linda Stevenson played our organ for the last time. During the sermon people shared their special stories about Good Shepherd. You will hear real tears and laughter as we said goodbye to our building that has sheltered many for 109 years.

Sharing Our Feelings

On May 16^th back in our own community, Good Shepherd parish shared thoughts on merging during the 10:00am worship service. This whole service is recorded and posted on this blog site.

Bishop Scruton at Good Shepherd

“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with all of you.” llCor 13:13

The Holy Spirit is very busy! Not only is it the season of Pentecost when we remember the first giving of the Spirit to the followers of Jesus but in the lives of my congregation the Holy Spirit has acted mightily.

During the season of Lent and the time of Holy

Week my parish, Good Shepherd, exchanged services with other parishes in our deanery (the North Worcester Deanery). On March 7^th you will find Bishop Gordon Scruton’s sermon preached at the time of his visit to Good Shepherd parish.

Following that date we attended other parishes and heard other preachers.
