STEEPLE SUNDAY #35 The Church of the Good Shepherd

This church has a long and rich history. In 1873 members from Christ Church withdrew their

membership with the hope of forming a free church, open to all, with no seating restrictions.*

In early 1874 a meeting was held to extend a calling to a rector for the new church.

*Our understanding is that back in the early years, families 'inherited' seats in the church making it hard for new members to find seating.

In 1878, St. John's Guild, an organization of the men of the parish, established the first public hospital in Raleigh. The hospital soon realized a need to expendand relocated to a large house that provided two wards of six to eight beds. All of the physicians were Episcopalians from The Church of the Good Shepherd and Christ Church. All of their services were donated. Over the years this parish has continued to serve the

needy of Raleigh . In 1980 The Shepherd's Table Soup Kitchen was opened. It still seves meals to each day.

This beautiful church occupies several blocks in downtown Raleigh. There have been many additions over the years. During a period of 60 years stained glass windows were added. Church families are memorialized in these beautiful windows.

Architectually it is flawless. The stone work, tile roof

many arched windows

and doors are very welcoming to old and new members.

These door opens to the entrance. It doesn't appear that grand until

You see all of the front entrance from across the street.

Attention to detail is shown below as the older portion of the church

on the right is joined to the newer portion, on the left, which houses The Shepherd's Kitchen and Educational Wing.

this arched portico is part of the new; however, unless you knew this you would

think it had been there from the beginning

The Church of the Good Shepherd's campus is in the heart of downtown Raleigh which is rapidly growing.

It stands as a historical becon to those who came before and will contine to serve as a guiding light to its members and all the follow.
