Outdoor Sunday Worship: Singing & Responses Now Permitted  

Our bishop has issued new guidelines for outdoor services, giving us a much more relaxed and familiar worship experience.
 
Masks are no longer required. The congregation can both say the spoken responses and they can sing! Communion will be in both kinds: the rector will intinct the wafer into the wine before she places it in your hand. However...

We do need to keep six feet of social distance between individuals, couples, and family groups.

It's helpful if you call Richard Taylor so we know how many people will be in attendance, but come along anyway if you forget to call.

So join us Sunday for worship. Outdoors at 8:30 a.m. or at 10:30 a.m. via Zoom.

The Good News Festival

The Episcopal Diocese of San Diego will welcome Presiding Bishop Michael Curry to Southern California for a celebration of good news on December 3 - 4, 2021. With interactive outreach projects, workshops, live discussion panels, youth offerings, and an evening of celebration at the beautiful Town and Country Resort, this is the perfect time to get away and enjoy some good news.

​

Safety: The Episcopal Diocese of San Diego and the Town and Country Resort take everyone’s safety with the highest priority. We will continue to monitor the health and safety guidelines provided by our local and state governments to ensure that everyone has a safe in-person experience at the festival.

The complete details are here.

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.
