There’s always something happening at Good Shepherd.

Do you have questions you’ve wanted to ask that you’re yearning to get the answers to? We can’t promise that you’ll walk away with all your questions answered, but we can guarantee that Pastor Henry Herbener will provide valuable insights and honest food for thought in response to those questions. Bring your tough questions! Join us in the Good Shepherd Classroom.

Shrove Tuesday is also known as Mardi Gras (or Fat Tuesday) and is celebrated each year preceding Ash Wednesday in preparation for the more solemn Lenten Season. We invite you and your friends to join us in All Saints Hall for this family-friendly, “carnival day” — including live music, Cajun gumbo and potluck dishes. There’s no need to RSVP but if you can bring a dish, there is a sign-up sheet in the hallway outside the church narthex. Forgot to sign up for a dish? Come anyway! There will be plenty for all!

Ash Wednesday begins the church’s season of Lent, in which we prepare ourselves to hear and receive the story and import of Jesus’ passion and resurrection. The day's name comes from the cross of ashes traced on the forehead of each worshiper, a reminder of our mortality and a symbol of the one to whose death and resurrection we are joined. We begin the season of preparation confessing our sins and seeking to follow the Christ of the cross. The Imposition of Ashes will be administered at 12:15 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.

Country music singers, Diane and Randy Gotshall will be joining us for some great musical entertainment. Randy sings a lot of The Beatles hits while Diane sings Patsy Cline favorites. You don’t have to be a member of Good Shepherd to enjoy the fellowship and fun. Just come. We meet in All Saints Hall and have a covered dish lunch with more than enough food.

Meeting in All Saints Hall, we again welcome back Holly Beebee with her “Dancing Chairs” program. Stay tuned as MORE INFO TO FOLLOW.

Celebrating their 21st season, the Lancaster British Brass Band continues to “wow” audiences of young and old alike. Their unique sound, being composed entirely of brass winds and percussion instruments, has been compared to “one big, magnificent pipe organ.” Come and experience it for yourself!
