Growing in Christ together through worship,

fellowship, ministry and stewardship.

Continued on page 2

Dear Good Shepherd:

I am totally thrilled to have Father Jim and Jo Popham

joining us as “Priests in Charge” at Good Shepherd. We

are glad to have them as part of our church.

Let us pray for Father Jim and Jo, who serve Christ’s

Church, here on earth.

Let your holy love surround them and shield them from

the world’s contagion.

Protect them, guide them, and keep them in your heart.

Heavenly Father, grant that our priests be strengthened

and healed by the power of the Eucharist they cele-

brate.

May the word they proclaim give them courage and wis-

dom. Let them have faith for the future. Father,

please give my priests your wisdom. Help them to know

the way to go, even when the way is not clear. Give them

discernment to know good from evil, even when evil is

dressed as good. Help them apply your word to even the

most confusing situations.

I fell in love with the Pophams immediately, as did the

rest of the vestry, and several members of the search

committee involved in the interviewing process.

I ask all of you to open your hearts to them, and invite

them in.

I ask you to:

Pray for Father Jim and Jo, daily.

Cook them a meal, especially on busy days like Sundays and holidays.

Celebrate their special days birthdays, day of their priestly ordination.

Pray more, complain less. Offer to help. Volunteer your time to the parish as a sign of sup-

port and service.

Write them a note expressing your gratitude.

Say thank you.

Give them a compliment.

“Save the drama for your Mama.” Don’t gossip or criticize, instead offer to help and

buildup.

Establish a Relationship.

Father, please give Father Jim and Jo deep sustaining friendships at Good Shepherd.

May God enrich our lives together as we worship and serve him. Genesis 21:22

Blessings,

Becky Watson, Senior Warden

Counterfeit Christianity: The Persistence of

Errors in the Church

Oct. 20 New Study Begins: The BE Atti-

tudes: Ten Paths to Holiness with Albert

Haase, OFM

Each of us is called to discover our own

unique way to grow in holiness whether it be

as a parent, spouse, babysitter, beautician,

bartender or businessperson. And no matter

the occupation or role we play in life, there

are ten characteristics that should shine in

the life of every Christian disciple. These are

what Fr. Albert Haase calls the BE Attitudes.

Each presentation explores one or more of

these ten BE Attitudes that will shape each of

us into the person God calls us to be.
