The Seasons of the Church
Season of Lent
USA is deeply rooted in the tradition of reflection, and preparation for the celebration of Easter. It is a time for prayer, fasting, and self-examination to prepare for the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The 40-day period of Lent is a time of repentance and discipline, focusing on Christ’s sacrifice and awaiting the celebration of His resurrection. During this season, Presbyterians engage in various spiritual practices such as prayer, fasting, and acts of service and charity all aimed at deepening their faith and drawing closer to God. The season culminates in the celebration of Easter, marking the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the hope of new life.

About Us
The Presbyterian Church of the Good Shepherd (USA) is a growing congregation. We gather together from across the Melbourne/Palm Bay area to witness to the love of God in Jesus Christ. While some are lifelong Presbyterians, some come from other Christian traditions and backgrounds, or no religious background at all. We welcome the seeker, the devout, and the skeptic alike as we gather to learn, serve, and grow as disciples. We are confident you will find a way to experience and share God’s love at Good Shepherd. Come and See! Join Us!

Scripture for Thursday, April 2, 2026
Mark 14:12
New International Version
The Last Supper
12 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, when it was customary to sacrifice the Passover lamb, Jesus’ disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and make preparations for you to eat the Passover?”
This verse places the narrative at the beginning of the Jewish festival of Unleavened Bread, which commemorates the Israelites’ exodus from Egypt and their hasty departure, leaving no time for bread to rise. The festival begins with the Passover meal, during which a lamb is sacrificed, symbolizing deliverance and protection, foreshadowing Jesus as the ultimate sacrificial Lamb of God.
The disciples’ question reflects their role as followers seeking guidance from Jesus, showing their awareness of the importance of the Passover meal and their desire to honor the tradition. 
This moment sets the stage for the Last Supper, where Jesus would institute the practice of communion and reveal the impending betrayal of one of the Twelve. The verse emphasizes both the historical context of the Jewish festival and the theological significance of Jesus’ actions in fulfilling Old Testament symbolism.

Science and Faith Meetings
Second Tuesday of each month from 7:00 8:30 PM in the Session Room.
Topic: At this meeting, we will continue our examination of the Biblical flood story in its ancient Near East context. But first, we will watch a brief video to supplement an earlier meeting about pagan religious practices. Paolo Xella of the University of Pisa will walk us through an exhibit of ancient Phoenician artifacts. Next, we will hear from Irving Finkel of the British Museum. He will describe an amazing archaeological discovery that sheds new light on the great flood. Finally, we will hear from astrophysicist Hugh Ross. He will discuss the great flood from a scientific perspective. During and after the meeting, we will have some great discussions. Join us for some insightful conversation and learning.

Got Kids?
Every child has a story. God is dealing with every kid, regardless of how many times they come to church. Treat every Sunday like it is the only Sunday that some kid has. Did they hear about Jesus? Did they feel loved? Did someone ask about them? Nurture these precious children! Whether they are wee little ones or teenagers, we have programs for them all!

Our Mission
At the Presbyterian Church of the Good Shepherd
Our mission is to help connect people to faith
A Shepherd leads, cares for, and loves his sheep. The sheep know the voice of their shepherd, they follow him, and him alone. Even the lost lamb is found and carried in the loving arms of his caregiver. At the Presbyterian Church of the Good Shepherd we listen to the voice of the Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ; we follow the will of our creator God; we are empowered to be obedient sheep through the Holy Spirit. Jesus commanded us to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, and mind, and to love one another as he has loved us. That’s our challenge – lead, care for, love, and bring home God’s children. We invite you to join us as we journey and grow in our community of obedient and loving sheep under the care of the Good Shepherd.
