Documentary Film: Join or Die:
Chances are, many of us know others who do not participate in any type of organization. The fact is, participation in all types of organizations – churches, civic groups, scouting, PTAs, etc. – has decreased by about 40-50% since the 1970s. Social scientist Robert Putnam of Harvard University has studied this phenomenon over the past 25 years and has come up with some reasons for this decline – and what we can do about it! His work is documented in the film, “Join or Die,” which will be shown on Wednesday, November 6th at 7:00 PM at Good Shepherd Episcopal Church (818 University Blvd, West, Silver Spring, MD). Please join us for a great film and the lively discussion that follows. Free admission. (Watch the trailer here.)

The number to call to join the prayer meeting is 508-924-2778

The 10:30 am service is in-person in the Good Shepherd sanctuary. Masks are optional. You are, of course, still welcome to wear your mask at any and all times. Additionally, if you know that you have had a recent COVID exposure, we trust that you will mask up and take precautions for everyone's safety.

Lunch Bunch welcomes parishioners and friends alike to meet for fellowship on the second Wednesday of each month.

We meet in the St. Francis Room.
Knit, crochet, share your craft.
