Church of the Good Shepherd

About this church

Church of the Good Shepherd is an Episcopal parish at 9 Russell Avenue in Watertown, Massachusetts. Sunday worship is Holy Eucharist at 10 a.m., following the Book of Common Prayer, with music, and services are also streamed. The first part of the service centers on Scripture and the second on the Eucharist, and coffee and refreshments follow. On most Sundays a discussion or education program is offered. Large-print bulletins and braille copies of the hymns are available each week, and visitors are told they will not be singled out or asked to stand. Sunday times follow the academic year.

On Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, in-person Morning Prayer is held at 7:15 a.m. A contemplative evening service called Hidden Brook meets on the first (virtual) and third (hybrid) Tuesdays at 6 p.m., with a break in August. Children are treated as full participants in worship, and the parish offers children's formation and ministry with families. The building is used during the week for recovery groups, children's programs, and Real Meals community dinners, and the parish is involved in community gardening and food justice. Confirm times with the office at (617) 924-9420.
