A beloved Good Shepherd tradition returns

What if resurrection isn’t just a promise for the afterlife, but a way to live right now? Rev. Ellie reveals how ordinary acts of kindness, courage, and love can become moments of resurrection—signs of God’s transforming hope breaking into our world.

Stewardship Reflection

In 2006 Barb Magee joined Good Shepherd’s delegation to El Salvador.  It was her first personal experience with the impoverishment and reality of life in a third world country. 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.

Rev. Ellie suggests, “It is a human thing, love; a holy thing, to love what death has touched.”  We all know that death is part of every life. But with Jesus’ death and resurrection we also know that in death life is changed, not ended.
