Amen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Year 1 Office Readings (RSV)<\/strong><br \/>\nA Reading from Deuteronomy (DEUTERONOMY 8:11-20)<br \/>\nMoses summoned all Israel, and said to them, \u201cTake heed lest you forget the LORD your God, by not keeping his commandments and his ordinances and his statutes, which I command you this day: lest, when you have eaten and are full, and have built goodly houses and live in them, and when your herds and flocks multiply, and your silver and gold is multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied, then your heart be lifted up, and you forget the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, who led you through the great and terrible wilderness, with its fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty ground where there was no water, who brought you water out of the flinty rock, who fed you in the wilderness with manna which your fathers did not know, that he might humble you and test you, to do you good in the end. Beware lest you say in your heart, \u2018My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth.\u2019 You shall remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth; that he may confirm his covenant which he swore to your fathers, as at this day. And if you forget the LORD your God and go after other gods and serve them and worship them, I solemnly warn you this day that you shall surely perish. Like the nations that the LORD makes to perish before you, so shall you perish, because you would not obey the voice of the LORD your God.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A Reading from the Letter to the Hebrews (HEBREWS 2:11-18)<br \/>\nHe who sanctifies and those who are sanctified have all one origin. That is why he is not ashamed to call them brethren, saying, \u201cI will proclaim thy name to my brethren, in the midst of the congregation I will praise thee.\u201d And again, \u201cI will put my trust in him.\u201d And again, \u201cHere am I, and the children God has given me.\u201d Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same nature, that through death he might destroy him who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong bondage. For surely it is not with angels that he is concerned but with the descendants of Abraham. Therefore he had to be made like his brethren in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make expiation for the sins of the people. For because he himself has suffered and been tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.<\/p>\n<p>A Reading from the Gospel according to John (JOHN 2:1-12)<br \/>\nOn the third day there was a marriage at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there; Jesus also was invited to the marriage, with his disciples. When the wine failed, the mother of Jesus said to him, \u201cThey have no wine.\u201d And Jesus said to her, \u201cO woman, what have you to do with me? My hour has not yet come.\u201d His mother said to the servants, \u201cDo whatever he tells you.\u201d Now six stone jars were standing there, for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to them, \u201cFill the jars with water.\u201d And they filled them up to the brim. He said to them, \u201cNow draw some out, and take it to the steward of the feast.\u201d So they took it. When the steward of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the steward of the feast called the bridegroom and said to him, \u201cEvery man serves the good wine first; and when men have drunk freely, then the poor wine; but you have kept the good wine until now.\u201d This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed in him. After this he went down to Caper&#8217;na-um, with his mother and his brothers and his disciples; and there they stayed for a few days.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993366;\"><strong>Coming Events AND Lent, Holy Week &amp; Easter Service Schedule at Good Shepherd<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993366;\"><strong>Sundays in Lent<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\">5:00 PM Stations of the Cross (5PM Saturday)<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\">7:40 AM Morning Prayer<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\">8:00 AM Said Holy Eucharist<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\">10:00 AM Sung Holy Eucharist<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993366;\"><strong>Tuesdays through Fridays\u00a0in Lent<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\">8:30 AM Morning Prayer (unless otherwise announced)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993366;\"><strong>February\u00a024, Tuesday,\u00a0St. Mathias&#8217; Day<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\">6:00 PM Said\u00a0Holy Eucharist<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993366;\"><strong>March 19, Tuesday,\u00a0St. Joseph&#8217;s\u00a0Day<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\">6:00 PM Said\u00a0Holy Eucharist<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993366;\"><strong>March 24, Tuesday, Eve of the Annunciation<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\">6:00 PM Sung Holy Eucharist<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\">7:00 PM BREAK THE FAST with Stews &amp; Chowders<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993366;\"><strong>March 29, Palm\/Passion Sunday<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\">5:00 PM Stations of the Cross (Saturday, March 28)<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\">7:40 AM Morning Prayer<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\">8:00 AM Palms &amp; Said Holy Eucharist<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\">10:00 AM Palms, Procession &amp; Sung Holy Eucharist<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993366;\"><strong>April 2, Maundy Thursday<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\">6:00 PM Agape Dinner: Mediterranean Potluck<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\">7:30 PM Celebration of the Lord\u2019s Supper<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993366;\"><strong>April 3, Good Friday<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\">12:00 PM Said Celebration of the Lord\u2019s Passion<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\">6:00 PM Soup &amp; Bread Potluck Dinner<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\">7:30 PM Sung Celebration of the Lord\u2019s Passion<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993366;\"><strong>April 4, Saturday, Easter Eve<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\">6:00 PM Pizzafest<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\">7:30 PM The Great Vigil of Easter<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993366;\"><strong>April 5, Easter Sunday<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\">7:40 AM Morning Prayer<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\">8:00 AM Said Holy Eucharist<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\">10:00 AM Sung Holy Eucharist<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\">11:00 AM Easter Egg Hunt &amp; Festive Coffee Hour<\/p>\n<p><strong>May 8,\u00a0Friday<\/strong><br \/>\n7:00 PM Wine Tasting<\/p>\n<p><strong>May 14, Thursday,\u00a0Ascension Day<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\">6:00 PM\u00a0Sung Eucharist with Guest Preacher Yejid Peters, Rector of All Saints, Briarcliff Manor.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993366;\">7:00 PM\u00a0Steak &amp; Wine Dinner<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Services &amp; Events Scheduled at Good Shepherd Today There are no\u00a0known services or\u00a0events scheduled for today.
