Services at Church of the Good Shepherd during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Listed below you will find our service times. Our in-the-building services are altered currently to allow for the requirements of social distancing and the wearing of face-masks. Obviously, we do not plan on these changes being permanent. However the Contemporary and Traditional services on Sunday mornings do ask people to care for one another by following the recommended guidelines.
Drive-in Worship – Saturday evenings at 6PM
Attendants will guide you to parking spaces in the front parking lot of the church where you are asked to park and then listen to the service by tuning your car radio (or portable radio) to FM88.5.
Services are recorded and posted on the main page of this web-site to be viewed during the following week.
Contemporary Sunday Morning Multi-Sensory Worship
8:30am & 9:45am
The Ronald A. Waite Worship Center
Our multi-sensory services uses contemporary Christian and secular music, graphics, drama, interviews and movie clips to develop the theme and enhance the worship experience. In both of our styles of services, Biblical-related sermons relating to real life experiences and congregational & group singing take place in a setting that promotes the feeling of a special community, our church.
Sunday Morning Traditional Worship
11:00am
The Good Shepherd Sanctuary
Worship is the central act in the lives of Christians. At Good Shepherd we desire to worship “in spirit and in truth,” to share the gospel in ways that touch the lives of worshipers, and to bring them into fuller relationship with God.
This is accomplished through sermons relating to real life struggles with lively and inspirational music. Children’s moments are included in the Family Worship Service on the 2nd Sunday of each month. There is a feeling of special community and fellowship.
The service includes traditional hymns with organ or piano accompaniment, pastoral and silent prayer, confession of faith, Scripture readings, and special music by ensemble, soloist or choir.
