Sunday Forum: Getting to Know The Rev. Bonnie Quantrell Jones
Sunday, March 16 | 9:00 AM | Parish Hall
Join us for a special Sunday Forum as we welcome our new assisting priest, The Rev. Bonnie Quantrell Jones! This will be an opportunity to get to know Rev. Bonnie as she introduces herself and shares about her ministry. She and Father Groff will also engage in a thoughtful conversation on liturgical language—how it is created, used, and revised. They will explore the dynamic tension between preserving historic language and responding to the needs and sensibilities of our current cultural moment. Join us for an engaging Sunday Forum!

Christian Formation
The Episcopal Way
This two-part preparation course is required for adults interested in Confirmation, Reception, or Reaffirmation. This class is also for anyone who is new to Good Shepherd or those who might be interested in learning more about the Episcopal Church. (Youth confirmation is a separate program addressed through our Youth Ministry program.)
Confirmation
Confirmation is the public and outward affirmation of a mature commitment to Christ. To be confirmed, it is required that the candidate has been baptized and participates in The Episcopal Way preparation workshop.
The Bishop of Southeast Florida confirms participants as members of the Episcopal Church during a service on a given Sunday of the year. Watch the announcements for dates and times or request information from the office.
Reaffirmation
Reaffirmation is for those who have already been confirmed in the Episcopal Church and wish to restate their commitment to Christ. People may choose to reaffirm their faith for a variety of reasons, like returning to the church after a long period, or to show support to a loved on e who is being confirmed. It is required that candidates participate in The Episcopal Way preparation workshop.
Reception
Reception into the Episcopal Church is for those who have made a mature commitment to Christ in another denomination by a bishop through apostolic succession. Those who were confirmed and received by laying on of hands by a bishop may choose reception. If that element of a previous confirmation was not present, Episcopal confirmation may be a more suitable option.
Cursillo
Cursillo is a movement of spiritual enrichment throughout the Church and our parish. The Cursillo experience begins with a three day retreat at which participants engage in warm Christian community and receive enlightening readings about faith. For many, the Christian life which follows is enhanced and enlivened. You may request information about this group at the link below.
