Angels Among Us is the umbrella organization and Steering Committee for the Good Shepherd Program, Ministry to Newcomers Committee, Extended Care Cooks, and the Funeral Reception Guild. The chairs of each of these committees as well as the designated staff, Public Relations and Vestry Liaison meet monthly. The Good Shepherd Program
Is a ministry of presence, communication, and caring. Each of us is asked to be a channel of Christ’s love by responding to the needs of others and by creating a sense of community. Thus, the parish has been geographically divided into neighborhoods. Each neighborhood has a Good Shepherd who wants to respond to the needs of parishioners in that area — sharing not only in the good times but also in times of need by caring in illness and giving help and hope when the unexpected happens.
The area number for your Good Shepherd neighborhood is listed for each parishioner in this directory entry following the zip code, e.g. Dallas, TX, 75225 002A. The Good Shepherd Neighborhood listing in this directory has the individual neighborhoods with the Shepherds listed as well as the individual families that are part of each Good Shepherd neighborhood.
