πŸ“’ Friendly Neighborhood Episcopal Priest Reminder:

This Sunday is the Fourth Sunday after Pentecost AND Father's Day.

Which means we'll gather at 10:30 AM to worship God, pray together, sing a few hymns, and pretend we all know what day of the week it is.

πŸ”₯ The Season after Pentecost is that long green season where we learn what it actually looks like to follow Jesus in everyday life, and we're still committed to the radical idea that God's love isn't a limited edition collectible. Everyone means everyone.

πŸ‘Ÿ Reverend Bill will be with us in his liturgical Converse, shorts, and fueled by enough caffeine to make a cardiologist nervously check their clipboard.

Whether you're:
βœ… A dad
βœ… Have a dad
βœ… Miss your dad
βœ… Are a mentor
βœ… Need a church
βœ… Haven't been to church in years
βœ… Or just need a place where people are trying their best to follow Jesus and love their neighbors

There's a seat for you.

⏰ Sunday at 10:30 AM

Bring your family.
Bring a friend.
Bring your neighbor.
Bring that person who keeps saying, "I've been meaning to visit sometime."

This Sunday sounds like a good time.

The coffee will be on.
The prayers will be sincere.
The welcome will be genuine.

See you Sunday, Shepherds.

One of the things we love about being Episcopalians is that we're secure enough in our faith to laugh a little.

Not because faith isn't important.

But because we've learned that God is bigger than our anxiety, bigger than our doubts, and definitely bigger than our ability to take ourselves too seriously.

At the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd in Hansford, WV, you'll find reverence without rigidity, tradition without pretending, and people who know that joy is a spiritual practice too.

After all, if God gave us a sense of humor, we're probably supposed to use it. πŸ˜‰

Wait... is this church or cardio? πŸ˜‚

Some of us grew up in church. Some of us walked away for a while. Some of us have never really found a place that felt like home.

Wherever you are on your journey, there's a seat for you at the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd in Hansford, West Virginia.

We believe faith is something to explore, not something you have to have all figured out before you walk through the door. Questions are welcome. Doubts are welcome. You are welcome.

Join us as we worship, serve our neighbors, share coffee, and try to follow Jesus together. No perfect people required.

Filled with the Spirit. Rooted in Love. Open to All.

This Sunday at 10:30 AM, we'll gather for the Fourth Sunday after Pentecost at The Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd in Hansford.

And yes... the rumors are true. πŸ‘Ÿ

Due to an unexpected change in plans, Reverend Bill will be ending his leave a little early and will be back with the Shepherds of Good Shepherd this Sunday! We are grateful for his return and look forward to worshiping together once again.

Pentecost reminds us that God's Spirit shows up in unexpected places, through unexpected people, at unexpected times. Sometimes our plans change. Sometimes life gets messy. Yet God keeps showing up anyway.

That's good news.

As we continue through Pride Month, we also celebrate the truth that every person is created in the image of God and worthy of love, dignity, and belonging. No exceptions. No asterisks. No fine print.

Whether you've been in church your whole life...
Whether it's been years...
Whether you're curious, questioning, hopeful, exhausted, skeptical, or just looking for a community that will welcome you as you are...

There's a place for you here.
