Psalm 23 for Good Shepherd Sunday

The Lord is my shepherd;

I shall not be in want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures

and leads me beside still waters.

He revives my soul

and guides me along right pathways for his Name's sake.

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I shall fear no evil;

for you are with me;

your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

You spread a table before me in the presence of those who trouble me;

you have anointed my head with oil,

and my cup is running over.

Surely your goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,

and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Make a Difference in the 2024 Elections!

We will have our second and third voter registration events this Saturday, April 20. The first will be at the Wheaton Giant, 2900 University Blvd West from noon to 2:00 p.m. The second will be at Inwood House from 3:00 - 4:00 p.m. Please contact Rosemary Addy at rma619@verizon.net, or Linda Mahler at deacon@gsecmd.org if you're able to help with either of these events.

As we continue to look for ways to be involved in the upcoming elections in a non-partisan way, want to determine the level of interest in having people from Good Shepherd drive people who need a ride to the polls for early voting between Thursday, May 2, and Thursday, May 9, and on Election Day Tuesday, May 14. If you would be interested in participating, please contact Rosemary Addy at rma619@verizon.net, or Linda Mahler at deacon@gsecmd.org.

From the Worship Team:

Our wonderful Deacon Linda Mahler chairs the Worship Committee and she would love to hear from you in terms of any suggestions you have for worship. You are also welcome to share your thoughts (after church or by phone) with anyone on the worship committee (Linda, Anna George, Ray G.). You are also invited to join the team as well!! We know that people have strong feelings about worship. 

• Come to a worship team meeting. Email Linda (mahlerlindal@gmail.com) for the Zoom link.
• Use this online form to give written feedback:  (bit.ly/GSECworshipfeedback). 

We are open to ideas about how the worship team should be configured in terms of the roles and points of view that should be represented on the team. If you have ideas about this, please share them with us. We know it's not possible to satisfy everyone at every worship service, but we are committed to making the worship experience as rewarding as possible, trying out new things from time to time to keep worship engaging, and including the traditions that are important to Good Shepherd. The conversation continues...Anna, Ray, George, Debbie and Linda
