SUMMARY:Easter Sunday
DESCRIPTION:Easter Day is the annual feast of the resurrection\, the pascha or Christian Passover\, and the eighth day of cosmic creation. Faith in Jesus’ resurrection on the Sunday or third day following his crucifixion is at the heart of Christian belief. Easter sets the experience of springtime next to the ancient stories of deliverance and the proclamation of the risen Christ. In the west\, Easter occurs on the first Sunday after the full moon on or after the vernal equinox. Easter always falls between Mar. 22 and Apr. 25 inclusive. Following Jewish custom\, the feast begins at sunset on Easter Eve with the Great Vigil of Easter. The Eastern Orthodox Church celebrates Easter on the first Sunday after the Jewish pesach or Passover (which follows the spring full moon). Although the two dates sometimes coincide\, the eastern date is often one or more weeks later. \nJoin us for this celebratory service with Egg Hunt and Hat Parade to follow!

SUMMARY:Maundy Thursday
DESCRIPTION:Maundy Thursday is a significant day in the Episcopal Church\, marking the institution of the Eucharist by Jesus Christ. \nThe day is celebrated with a ceremony of washing feet\, which symbolizes the love and service that Jesus demonstrated to his disciples. The service includes a gospel reading\, homily\, and the washing of the feet\, followed by the stripping of the altar\, which is a tradition that reflects the bareness of the altar on Good Friday. The liturgy for Maundy Thursday provides for the celebration of the Eucharist and the washing of feet\, which follows the gospel and homily. The altar is stripped and all decorative furnishings are removed from the church\, creating a stark and reflective atmosphere for the worship service.

SUMMARY:Poetry Wine & Cheese Night
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a night of celebrating our poets! The Church of the Good Shepherd launched our first ever poetry contest to wrap up our creative summer series\, Food for Body and Soul! We invited members of our community\, as well as the poetry world at large\, writers of any or no religious affiliation\, to participate. \nThis year’s theme\, “The Rhythm of Life\,” evokes thoughts of the natural world as well as the spiritual\, and provides rich opportunities to reflect on what it is to be human and to be alive. \nAll entries were judged by Angier Brock\, Emily Pease\, and Beth Williams\, poets who\, as part of the 2025 Food for Body and Soul series\, led our poetry collaboration in June.
