Sunday Worship
Worship at Good Shepherd Anglican is joyful, serious, and intentionally designed to focus our whole attention on our Lord our Maker. Sunday worship is not merely about hearing a sermon and singing a song. Historic worship as passed down to us from the Apostles incorporates prayers of confession, absolution, the Lords supper, and more. Sunday worship is an active participatory event at Good Shepherd in which the congregants are part of the worship, and are not merely spectators. Our ministers process behind the cross, because as Saint Paul taught us, "For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified".
