On Sunday, April 6th, we welcome back Rev. Rod McCaulay. Father Rod served as our Episcopal advising minister for a number of years. He will preside at our 10 am worship service with Holy Communion at 38958 Cypress Way in Gualala. A fellowship period, with coffee and baked treats, follows the service. All are welcome to join us.
April is an important month in the life of the church. April 13 is Palm Sunday as we follow Christ's journey to the cross. On Sunday April 20th, the congregation of Shepherd by the Sea will celebrate Easter Day and the resurrection of our Lord. A potluck meal is scheduled for after the Easter Sunday service. All are welcome!
On Wednesday evening, March 12, 7 PM, Shepherd by the Sea held its first community program. Rev. Randall Balmer (see https://www.randallbalmer.com/) spoke compellingly on the " Origins of ‘Christian Nationalism’ in the US." A prize-winning historian and Emmy Award nominee, Randall Balmer holds the John Phillips Chair in Religion at Dartmouth University.
Shepherd by the Sea Episcopal-Lutheran Mission is a Protestant congregation open to the community in Gualala and the Mendonoma area. Our roots are in the Episcopal Church and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and our worship liturgy is drawn from both traditions.
Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, we would like to meet you.
