Annual Parish Meeting

  • Church of the Good Shepherd 164 Newtown Road Acton, MA, 01720 United States (map)

UPDATE: Due to the snow, the combined service at 9:00 and the Annual Meeting that follows will both be online only. Please join via Zoom.


We encourage all parish households to attend our Annual Meeting. You may attend in person or via Zoom. The meeting will immediately follow one worship service at 9 am. The Rector's Annual Address will be given as the sermon during the 9:00am service.

The in-person meeting will take place in the Parish Hall. There will be a quiet activity area set up for children and those of any age who wish to stretch or color during the meeting. Older children are encouraged to help sort the food collected for the Mission Outreach food drive.

Please watch your email on Saturday for any updates related to the snow storm. If we need to shift to an all-Zoom service and meeting, a notice will be sent by 5pm on Saturday.

As part of our care for God's creation, we will not be distributing printed copies of these reports. If you want a paper copy, please refer to your email and print one at home or contact the Office and we can print one off for you.
