Gathered as a prayerful people,
strengthened by our diversity,
and sharing the enthusiam of our founders, 
we, the members of Jesus the Good Shepherd Parish
are called to be a loving, nurturing family in faith,
to affirm the varied gifts of each member, 
to reach out to others and to proclaim God's    
liberating and healing presence through
Word, worship, and service.
Empowered by the Holy Spirit,
we willingly accept the challenge to reflect, 
to share and to promote 
the Gospel of Jesus Christ in our daily lives.
