Good Shepherd UMC, Silver Spring MD

Special Recognition of Acolytes, Sunday, June 14, 2026.

Good Shepherd honored the ten extraordinary youth who have committed to serving faithfully as acolytes. We thank them for bringing “the light of Christ” into the service each Sunday and, at the conclusion of service, carrying out a taper that symbolizes taking the light of Christ into the world. Our acolytes serve many roles…they assist with baptisms, scripture reading and assist our pastor during the service. We are very grateful for their service to Good Shepherd.
