Upcoming at Good Shepherd

Diocesan Convention for the Episcopal Church in Wyoming begins at 2:00 pm on Friday, September 30, 2011. Convention this year is hosted by St. Mark's and St. Christopher's Churches in Cheyenne. Opening worship will be at St. Mark's and the closing Eucharist will be at St. Christopher's on Sunday morning, October 2. Attending from Good Shepherd will be our delegates, Steve and Julia Christy, and our priest, The Rev. JoAnne Moore.

Rather than the regular Holy Eucharist service on Sunday, the 2nd, Morning Prayer will be read.

Bible study continues nearly every Thursday morning at 10:00 in the Parish Hall.

A new study was begun several weeks ago held on Wednesday mornings at 8:30 [sometimes 9:00]. This study is on the Revised Common Lectionary for the upcoming Sunday and is somewhat focused on sermon preparation. However, attendees aren't required to prepare sermons; the discussion is formulated to strengthen our understanding of the scripture.
