WEEKLY ANNOUNCEMENTS - FEBRUARY 27, 2026

Lenten Season

We hope you are finding space for prayer, reflection, and intentional growth, even amid the busyness of daily life as we continue this Lenten journey. Lent is not about perfection, but about drawing nearer to God with honesty and openness. If the season has felt meaningful, may you continue to lean into that grace; if it has been challenging or distracted, there is still time to begin again. We hope each of you is experiencing a deeper awareness of God’s presence and a renewed spirit as we walk together toward Easter.

St. George Table's "Temporary New Home"

St. George Table (SGT) needs a new home! Good Shepherd has long been a key participant in this vital ministry, providing hot meals, sandwiches and support for 150 people per day in Riviera Beach. The original St. George mission was demolished 3 years ago. Fundraising is underway and a new building has been designed, but construction has not yet begun. SGT has been renting space in a neighboring church, but now this temporary space is no longer available. The only alternative is to rent commercial property, which will be costly, and will require some construction and improvements. For our Lenten Project this year, we seek to raise $20,000 to cover the cost of the initial rental and needed improvements to the property. This is an opportunity to do more than make sandwiches or help to prepare a hot meal. Choose a needed item from our SGT display in the Narthex each Sunday in Lent, scan QR code or click "Donate Now"

BIBLE STUDY WITH CLERGY

March 4 , 11:00 AM

Paul the Apostle has often been read in ways that feel heavy or exclusionary. Join us as we explore his Letter to the Romans with fresh eyes, hearing it as a bold proclamation of God’s grace, liberation, and good news for all. Meets Wednesdays at 11:00 AM in the Parish Hall.

LENTEN THEOLOGICAL BOOK STUDY: March 5, 4:00 PM

During Lent, the Theological Book Study Group will read The Tears of Things: Prophetic Wisdom for an Age of Outrage by Richard Rohr. Rohr explores how the biblical prophets moved from anger over injustice to a "sacred sorrow" or "tears" that foster compassion. Rohr presents this transformation as a spiritual path (order, disorder, reorder) that helps navigate today's, personal, political, and social crises. This Lenten study meets on Thursdays, beginning February 19, at 4:00 in the library or by Zoom.. Contact Mary Lou Crifasi for more information: 561-746-4674.

You may drop off your donated baked goods to the Church Office by Friday, March 6th.
