The Ninth Sunday after Pentecost
Welcome
At the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd in Hemet, California, we strive to be instruments of God’s peace. We are a fellowship of people from various walks and ways, learning from each other as we all learn from Jesus. Our worship is both traditional (keeping us grounded) and genuine (keeping us current).
Who Are Episcopalians?
We are followers of Jesus Christ. Apart from that, there are many differences between us. This is by design! The Bible says that humankind was made in God’s image. It doesn’t say that each human is the image of God; it refers to all humankind, together.
Good News Festival
