Feast of All Saints & a Holy Baptism
This Sunday, we celebrate The Feast of All Saints and Holy Baptism. Sid and Cosmo, LJ and Jennifer are going to be washed in the waters of baptism and anointed with the oil of Christ. We celebrate along with their families, the DiMarco's and the Brune Coombs.
We will also be blessing our new processional cross, a legacy gift from Eleanor Hampson, whose cousin, David Tolerton, designed the altar cross and other sanctuary furnishings.
You should have your pledge packet in hand. If not, please call our office and we will make sure you get one! Generosity is transforming and we want to make sure you get to be a part of our annual campaign.
The Vestry of the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd is committed to our mission “To know Christ and to make Christ known.” As the lay leaders of this community of faith, it is important that we invite our parishioners to pursue a healthy spiritual life through responsible stewardship based on biblical principles.
Do your eyes glaze over a bit when it comes to the annual Fall finance campaign? Do you shift a bit in your seat? Do you NOT want to be the person asking for money?
If you answered yes, you are in good company.
Then, not having any realistic plan for how it could be done, I committed an outrageous act of faith: I started giving the tithe.
