Good Shepherd Weekly Update, February 5, 2022

February 5, 2022Stephanie WarnerUncategorized, Weekly Update

What’s Happening at Good Shepherd This Week

Change for Life If you haven’t returned your filled baby bottles back to Good Shepherd, please do so at your earliest convenience. They can be returned to Christine Osgood, or dropped off in the church office.
Please don’t forget that writing a check for your donation is preferred, and that you should fill out the little slip for tax purposes if you wish to claim the donation.

Youth Group Schedule The Good Shepherd Youth are currently on a service trip to Arrowhead.  Please pray for their safety, and that God will use this time to grow their relationships with Him and strengthen their bonds with each other.

Shrove Tuesday Shrove Tuesday Shrove Tuesday (known in some countries as ‘Pancake Day’ or ‘Fat Tuesday’) is the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday. This year it will be on March 1.  ‘Shrove’ comes from the Latin word ‘shrive’, and means ‘absolution’.  It is thought that the tradition started when families would eat all of the fatty, rich foods in the house so as not to be tempted during the penitent season of Lent.

Good Shepherd hosts a free pancake and sausage supper to mark the day, which is followed immediately by a short ceremony in which all of the palm fronds from Palm Sunday of the previous year are burned to produce the ashes that are used for Ash Wednesday.  If you would like to help, please contact Steph Warner or Carrie Moorhead.
Ash Wednesday Ash Wednesday is a day of reflection in the Christian tradition.  On this day that begins the Lenten season, Christians all over the world come together and have ashes imposed upon their foreheads as a reminder that we are all sinners and to “remember that we are made of dust, and to dust we shall return”.

The ashes are imposed in the shape of a cross to remind us that Christ bore the weight of our sins on the cross and ultimately defeated death to offer salvation to all who would come to him.  The Ash Wednesday services this year are on March 2nd at 7am and 6pm.

ORDO Church Calendars The 2022 Good Shepherd ORDO church calendars are available in the rear of the sanctuary at the usher’s table.  Please feel free to pick one up on your way into or out of the sanctuary.

Offering Envelopes The 2022 Personalized Offering Envelopes can be found on the usher’s table at the main entrance.  If you would like to have a set of offering envelopes, please contact the office.

Zoom Morning Prayer This service normally meets online by zoom at 7am Monday through Friday.  The liturgy and readings are available each day at www.dailyoffice2019.com.  Join the parish email list and look for a daily email invitation in your inbox.

Both the 8am and the 10:30 services are meeting in person.

The 8am service If you are high risk, or at all nervous to be in social gatherings, this service is designed for you. All those who attend are asked to wear masks and remain socially distanced throughout the service. The 8am service is not currently being live-streamed.

The 10:30am service New York State Mask Mandate Issued: The Governor issued a mask mandate for New York State requiring masks inside public venues regardless of vaccination status until January 15th. You can read about it here.

You can download the bulletin, including the scripture readings here. One of the joys of having a fully digital bulletin is that we are free to use color! You’ll find that some of the artwork and many of the directions are in full color. You’ll also notice that there are links in the offertory section to take you out to two different means of giving electronically. You can give online through Breeze or you can text a donation through Breeze at 607-882-6551. Good Shepherd also has a PayPal account. If you choose to give via PayPal you can avoid fees by paying directly from your bank. Be sure to uncheck the box that says, “paying for goods and services” at the bottom or PayPal will charge Good Shepherd a fee. As always, thank you for your great generosity and kind support.

The lectionary readings for this week are: Judges 6:11-24, Psalm 85, Philippians 3:1-4a, and Luke 5:1-11.
