Covid 19 UpdateDear Parishioners,
Our doors are closed; our Church is open! Over these past few days, we have been witness to many things that most of us thought were unlikely or improbable only a week or two before. With changes happening minute by minute, decisions are being made by those in leadership across our country, state, and city that will have a profound impact on us all. As members of the Church, our faith life will be affected as well. Given Governor Baker’s directives, our Bishop has mandated that all public worship services are to be canceled through May 30th. We hope to be back in the church on Sunday, May 31st for the Feast of Pentecost. Funerals are the only exception with no more than 10 persons attending and the protocols for safe gathering followed. Until further notice: The Church of the Good Shepherd will be closed. This includes the Bargain Box and groups that rent our space. Volunteers, including cleaning crews, Bargain Box volunteers, choir, money counters and verifiers, etc. are asked not to enter the building. We are working diligently to keep the church and office clean and sanitized. We have begun to Live-Stream our celebration of the Eucharist each Sunday at 10:00 AM. We will e-mail the bulletin each Friday so you can follow along. We will be streaming via Facebook each Sunday morning: www.facebook.com/cgsreading. If you don’t have Facebook, ask your children or grandchildren to show you- maybe they will join you for “on-line” church! We have a team of parishioners in place to begin pastoral care as needed. If you have a need or concern, please contact us directly. As we move through these uncertain times, it is important to remember that the Lord walks with us to protect us and lead us forward despite the challenges we face. It is essential that each of us take time every day to pray, ask for God’s help. We are a strong community and will get through this together! Let us continue to pray for one another.
