Shepherd by the Sea Episcopal/Lutheran Mission welcomes all, of any denomination, to join us as we worship at the Gualala Community Center at 10 am on Sundays. Coffee hour follows the service.The Gualala Community Center is located at 47950 Center St Street in Gualala, California.

On June 5, we celebrated the Day of Pentecost:  Poured out in wind and fire, water, wine, and bread, the Holy Spirit abides in and among us. We give thanks that God speaks to each of us, no matter our origins, language, or life path. Filled with the Spirit of truth, we go out from worship to proclaim the saving power of Christ’s love and the freedom of God’s grace with all the world. (Celebrate June 5, 2022, Augsburg)

The Season after Pentecost continues until the Season of Advent begins on November 27th, 2022.
