Gospel and Sermon for the Fourth Sunday in Lent, March 19, 2023

She channeled that experience into broadening Good Shepherd’s assistance and outreach efforts. Today our church offers many opportunities for individuals, families or groups to do something tangible and helpful for our neighbors - whether here in Acton, or for our far-flung neighbors around the world.
