Good Shepherd Lutheran Church
Growing In God’s Grace - Welcoming All
Welcome Home
Good Shepherd Lutheran Church believes that God’s love is freely given to all regardless of race, ethnicity, age, physical or mental ability, sexual orientation or gender identity. No matter who you are, how you are spiritually, or where you are on life’s journey, we welcome and embrace you in the name and love of Christ. Good Shepherd is located on Route 15, in Jericho, Vermont. Your journey here will be blessed with the beauty of the Green Mountains. Your time with us will be blessed with a warm welcome, inspiration and outstanding music.
Worship at 9am
This Sunday is the first of the six Sundays in Lent, and we continue our journey toward Easter that began on Ash Wednesday. The purple color of the paraments on the altar reminds us that this is a season of reflection and repentance. The “alleluias” are set aside and not sung again until Easter. The worship setting will be our Good Shepherd Folk service.
A Lenten Tradition
The Lenten log is made from the trunk of our 2023 Christmas tree, the last one donated by member Hans Jaensch before his passing. It was crafted by Hubie Norton. There are 6 candles, one for each week in Lent. This Sunday all six candles will be lit, and one is extinguished each Sunday as we approach Holy Week and Good Friday – the opposite of the Advent wreath with its increasing light, as we anticipate Jesus’ birth.
Ash Wednesday, February 18, 7:00PM
The Lenten season begins with an Ecumenical Ash Wednesday Service, with the imposition of ashes. Good Shepherd again hosts this annual service with several area congregations.
