Good Shepherd Lutheran Church

About this church

Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Jericho, Vermont, is a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and gathers for in-person worship on Sundays at 9 a.m., with fellowship following the service. Worship draws on liturgical traditions, using service settings from the Evangelical Lutheran Book of Worship and other resources, with a mix of traditional, contemporary, and global music. Holy Communion is celebrated, and anyone who prefers not to commune may receive a blessing instead. The congregation began as a mission church in 1971 and was formally organized in 1973. Worship and sermon recordings are posted on its YouTube channel.

Sunday School and Adult Forum follow worship, and the service includes a special moment for children. During the week, a Centering Prayer group meets Fridays at 8:30 a.m. and a Lectio Divina group meets Mondays at 9 a.m., both on Zoom. The building also hosts the Essex-Jericho-Underhill Ecumenical Ministry Food Shelf, which runs a drive-through distribution on the third Saturday of each month from 9 to 10:30 a.m. An Immigration Justice Team supports asylum seekers through the Chittenden Asylum Seekers Assistance Network. Visitors will find the church at 273 Vt Route 15, close to the road and not far from Ace Hardware, with plenty of parking and chairs for everyone. Juice, organic coffee, and light bites are offered after the service. Confirm times on the website before visiting.
