In this age of “No Kings” protests, what does it mean to celebrate the Feast of Christ the King? Rev. Ellie draws a stark contrast between what today’s world understands about power, leadership, authority, and strength and what we know as the Kingdom of God.

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.

Celebration of Ministry

On Wednesday June 4th Bishop Julia Whitworth officiated at the (belated) formal installation of Rev. Ellie as Good Shepherd’s fifth rector. We also celebrated the nearly five years of service Ellie has already given since she actually began as our rector.

Here is the service in its entirety.
