Fellowship, Outreach and Service Ministries

Good Shepherd fellowship ministries meet regularly to develop relationships, learn, serve, and have fun together. Outreach is also a major component of several of the ministries.

Brotherhood of St. Andrew  The Brotherhood of Saint Andrew is an international, evangelical outreach ministry of men within the Anglican Communion. The Brotherhood believes  that when men come together with other men to share in discussions of their Christian faith and study the Holy Bible, they become more active in and supportive of the parish ministry in that community.  More . . . .

Caring Hands  The goal of Caring Hands Ministry is to use the fruits of our hobbies to provide comfort to those in need. We began by knitting or crocheting prayer shawls for anyone facing a serious illness or life crisis and for those grieving for a loved one. Prayer shawls are made with prayer for the person receiving them and have been described as feeling like an embrace of God. More . . .

Coffee Hour  Hosts  Coffee Hour is a weekly opportunity for fellowship providing time for parishioners to interact socially while enjoying coffee, tea, and refreshments, and to get to know each other beyond the limits of weekly worship. Much of the networking and the work of  parishioners is accomplished while socializing at coffee hour. More . . . .

Creation Care  The Church of the Good Shepherd is dedicated to sharing our love for creation through stewardship of the Earth. More…

Good Shepherd Quilt Guild  Since 2005 almost 50 women from around our county have come together once a month to participate in the Good Shepherd Quilt Guild. Quilters from Pitman, Washington Township, Glassboro, Wenonah and the vicinity have the opportunity to join women from Good Shepherd for an evening of sharing their mutual love of quilting.

Greeters   Our warm welcome, our hospitality at Good Shepherd is possibly our greatest strength. It is God’s love, it is the Spirit among us, it is what Jesus teaches us. It is felt the first time and every time thereafter that we walk through our doors. We all know and feel this, but sometimes it helps to be intentionally thoughtful about it, keep it at the top of our minds. This is what the Good Shepherd Greeters do.   More on Greeters . . . .

Lending Library The Lending Library has grown from being housed on a few tables to having six bookshelves groaning with the weight of the generously donate books. More . . . .

Pitman Pantry  Pitman Pantry, located in rear of the First Baptist IMG_0547Church of Pitman, is an ecumenical ministry of local churches that provides food to families who are food insecure. The majority of recipients live in Pitman, but no one is turned away. While the Pantry receives food from the USDA and the Food Bank of South Jersey, much of our food is donated by local congregations and other friends in the community. Financial contributions allow the Pantry to purchase some food items.  More . . . .

Property Committee  The Property Committee is charged with the responsibility for the on-going maintenance and improvements to the Church, the Church grounds, and the Rectory dwelling and detached garage.
