On Wednesday, June 10, at 9:15 AM, the Jefferson Parish Council will honor the fiftieth anniversary of Good Shepherd Church with an official proclamation at the Council Chambers in Elmwood. As we reach this half-century mark, this recognition serves as a grateful acknowledgment of our witness and service within this community. All members of our parish are invited to be present for this event as we mark this historic milestone together.

This Sunday, we celebrate the Feast of Pentecost—the birthday of the Church and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples.

In honor of the tongues of fire that rested upon the Apostles, our liturgical color for the day is RED. We invite everyone to join in the celebration by wearing red to church this Sunday. Let’s fill the sanctuary with the vibrant color of the Spirit as we worship together.

See you Sunday!

The delegates from Good Shepherd Anglican Church will be traveling to Houston, TX this week to participate in the Electing Synod with the Diocese of the Western Gulf Coast will elect a new bishop.

Please keep your delegates in prayer for safe travels. They are: Fr. Randall Graf, Margaret Aucoin, Rinda Coleman, and David Whaley.

Please also pray for the important work of this meeting:

Almighty God, giver of every good gift: Look graciously on your Church, and so guide the minds of those who shall choose a bishop for the Diocese of the Western Gulf Coast that we may receive a faithful pastor who will preach the Gospel, care for your people, equip us for ministry, and lead us forth in fulfillment of the Great Commission; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

As has been the custom of our church parish for 50 years, we will again transform the Good Friday Cross into the Easter Sunday Flower Cross on Sunday morning.

Please bring some flowers and plan to join us in the conference room beginning at 9:00 AM Easter Sunday morning so that we can continue this beautiful tradition!

As we celebrate the 50th Anniversary Jubilee of Good Shepherd, please make plans to join us for our parish riverboat cruise on April 11 at 11:30 AM. We will be sailing on the City of New Orleans for a time of fellowship and a buffet lunch on the water.

To ensure we secure our group reservation, we must provide the cruise line with a final headcount and payment by the end of March. Because of this, we require your reservation and payment in full at the time of sign-up.

Please visit the parish office or the sign-up table in the narthex to register. The final deadline for all payments and reservations is Friday, March 28.

• Children (6–12): $33.00 (with lunch) or $21.00 (without lunch)

On the first Sunday of Lent, Good Shepherd began offering the Office of Morning Prayer at 8:30 AM. Although not intended to by a stand-alone service, it does provide the worshiper an early option if their schedule precludes the 10:00 AM Holy Eucharist. But our real hope is that one would choose to come to Morning Prayer and remain for our Holy Eucharist at 10:00 AM.  This will give the worshiper a deep dive experience for the day. 

Additionally, Morning Prayer each Sunday also gives some of our yet-to-be ordained postulants (ie., Ashton and Aiden) an opportunity to sharpen their homiletics by bringing the message.

Below are links to the first three services if you would like to check it out.

It is with great joy and a profound sense of gratitude that we announce the official kickoff of Good Shepherd’s 50 Year Jubilee. This milestone is more than a look back at our history; it is a celebration of the faithfulness of God that has sustained this parish for half a century.

We invite the entire parish family to join us as we begin this landmark year. The day will commence with a celebratory service of worship at 10:00 AM, where we will gather to offer our thanks for the generations of saints who have called Good Shepherd home.

Following the service, we will hold our Annual Meeting. This is a vital time for us to reflect on the past year and look forward with hope to the work ahead.

The highlight of our afternoon will be the official opening of the 2001 Time Capsule. It has been twenty-five years since these items were tucked away, and we look forward to discovering the messages and mementos left for us by those who walked these halls before us.

Light refreshments will be served as we share stories and fellowship. Please make plans to be part of this historic day as we honor our heritage and step into our future together.
