Reflect and Rejoice: Holy Week Services at Good Shepherd

Holy Week and Easter at The Good Shepherd Lutheran Church

We invite you to join us for worship and reflection as we walk together through the sacred moments of Christ’s journey this Holy Week. On Maundy Thursday and Good Friday, we will gather at 7:00 PM, both in person and online via YouTube, to remember the Last Supper and the sacrifice of the cross. Through scripture, prayer, and music, we will pause to reflect on the depth of Christ’s love and grace poured out for all. These services will prepare our hearts for the joy of Easter, reminding us of the hope we find in His promise.

Then, on Easter Sunday at 10:30 AM, we will come together to celebrate the risen Christ with a festive communion service. Whether you join us in the sanctuary or from the comfort of your home via YouTube, we welcome you to experience the triumphant message of resurrection and renewal. This special service will feature inspiring music, joyous hymns, and powerful expressions of praise that reflect the beauty of new life in Christ. The celebration of Easter is a time for us to rejoice in the fullness of God’s love and embrace the hope that it brings.

We encourage you to be part of these meaningful services, to worship, reflect, and celebrate with us. Holy Week and Easter remind us of God’s unwavering love and the promise of life anew. Together, as a community of faith, we will gather in gratitude and anticipation, embracing the profound beauty of this sacred season. Join us at The Good Shepherd Lutheran Church and let us rejoice in the glory of Christ’s resurrection!

Say cheese! Sign up for your free portrait session

It’s directory time!

We’re excited to announce that Good Shepherd is creating a new photo directory in 2025—our first in nearly a decade! This is more than just a book of faces. It’s a snapshot of our shared life together, a tool to help us connect and care for one another, and a keepsake we can treasure for years to come.

All members and regular participants are encouraged to sign up for a professional portrait session on one of several Sundays after worship. Each household that takes part will receive a free printed directory. For the best results, we suggest avoiding logos or branded clothing, and we recommend that couples and families coordinate their clothing colors.

If you are unable to attend a portrait session, you may submit a recent photo of your choosing instead.

Let’s come together to help create something beautiful and meaningful—an image of our congregation in this season of ministry and mission.

Palm Sunday Readers Theater – A TGSLC Tradition

This Palm Sunday, April 13, our congregation will offer a special presentation of a readers theater performance during worship. Through a dramatic reading of the Passion story, members of our church will bring the events of Jesus’ final days to life in a powerful and moving way. Rather than a traditional sermon, the story will be told in the voices of many—disciples, bystanders, religious leaders, and Jesus himself—inviting us to enter more deeply into the sacred mystery of Holy Week.

Readers theater allows Scripture to speak directly to our hearts, not through elaborate sets or costumes, but through the power of the Word and the shared voices of our community. This simple yet profound form of storytelling helps us hear the familiar story in a new way. We hope you will join us for this meaningful service as we begin our journey toward the cross and the joy of Easter morning.
