Is there any way to receive communion?
Yes, we will still be offering communion. We will offer communion every Sunday from 7 AM -Noon. We ask that people sign up using the link below in the Communion Sign-up Section. This will allow us to offer communion to groups of no more than 10 people at a time, in an orderly way, and avoid the chance of a large group of people gathering.

Can we still support the church through our gifts and offerings?
Although the church has modified its schedule, we still are trying to help spread the love of Christ and support various people in need. If you are able to continue to make contributions to Good Shepherd, giving envelopes can be mailed to church, you can sign up for automatic donations using Joyful Response (application can be downloaded here application.jpg & mailed to the church office) or people can use the "Donate" button found on the bottom of this screen.

We are uncertain how long health restrictions will be in place but we trust in our Lord and know that He will sustain us throughout all of our days.
