This Sunday, March 30, 2025, the Louisiana churches in our diocese will gather in Baton Rouge at Holy Cross Anglican Church for an Evening of Prayer and Praise. This is a new concept aimed to bring the four parishes of Louisiana together into what is called a Deanery (a geographical subdivision of a diocese).

The event will begin at 4:00 PM and will conclude with a meal being served. This Sunday's meal is jambalaya and is being provided by Holy Cross. Those from other parishes are encouraged to bring a side dish to share.

This Sunday morning at our services, anyone wishing to attend and carpool will be asked to make arrangements, with anyone leaving from our parking lot likely having to so around 2:30 PM to assure being at Holy Cross for the 4:00 PM start time.

This event is scheduled to be held each fifth Sunday of the month and will travel giving each parish a chance to serve as host.

On Saturday, April 5, we'll have a work day at church from 9:00 AM until 11:00 AM. Priorities include cleaning up the prayer garden and taking down an old portable building on the back of the church grounds.

If you are able to help, please do so! For more information, see our Buildings and Grounds manager, Mel Aucion.

Each Friday from 11AM til 1:00 PM

As in previous years, each Friday during Lent, Good Shepherd Church invites you to come enjoy some quiet time with the Lord between the hours of 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM. We’ll only break the silence for a quarter hour beginning at 12:15 PM in order to pray The Great Litany.

The latest edition of the Shepherd's Voice Newsletter is available for download as a .pdf. We also have hard copies available in the narthex.

This Saturday night before retiring for bed, remember to set you clocks ahead one hour as we SPRING FORWARD into Daylight Savings Time!

The Season of Lent begins with Ash Wednesday on March 5, 2025.  We will have two chances to receive ashes at church. Please join us for one of our two services at either 12:15 PM or 6:30 PM on Ash Wednesday.
