AN IMPORTANT MINISTRY UPDATE  
There is so much exciting news I have to share with you! I am pleased to announce the formation of GOOD SHEPHERD FILMS which will handle the production of inspirational videos for the internet for Good Shepherd Church Pasadena. In this time of unrest my prayer is that through GOOD SHEPHERD FILMS we will be a beacon of hope for people around the world. Our first project was the release of "California (Coast) Dreamin". That was followed by the wildly popular video "THE GARDENS AT THE HUNTINGTON." These videos are now posted on our Facebok Page Good Shepherd Church Pasadena.

Pastor Rick is now working on the production of a new video "ANSWERD PRAYERS".

If you enjoy putting together videos and would like to join us in filming inspirational videos, contact Pastor Rick at rickgoodshepherd@gmail.com. 

This effort is in addition to GOOD SHEPHERD GIFTS, our online religious gift store. We are busy putting together a wonderful selection of inspirational gifts for Spring and Easter. The money raised through the online gift store will support the ministry of Good Shepherd. Stay tuned for further details. 

And of course we still have GOOD SHEPHERD CHURCH PASADENA. Through our inspirational videos and postings on Facebook we reach over 40,000 people in more than 30 countries worldwide every week! I will continue to reach out every week to people all over the world with the inclusive message of God's love, grace and forgiveness. My plan for 2018 is to expand our messaging to include both Facebook and YouTube. Also in 2018 we will releasing a program of daily inspirational messages sent to your smartphone. You can start every day on the right foot! AND... I am exploring producing a Good Shepherd Church ap for your smartphone as well. Whew! 

It's going to be an amazing year! Our God is an awesome God! He is leading us in new directions. GOOD SHEPHERD FILMS... GOOD SHEPHERD GIFTS... GOOD SHEPHERD CHURCH PASADENA!!!

IMPORTANT HIV INFORMATION
Every week I get telephone calls from anxious young men who are seeking a place to be tested for HIV. There is a wonderful "locator" web site run by Health and Human Services that can pinpoint HIV testing sites for you - no matter WHERE you live.

TO LOCATE AN HIV TESTING SITE NEAR YOU,CLICK HERE. 

This site will also show locations for housing assistance, mental health facilities and substance abuse centers.

THIS IS IMPORTANT INFORMATION. PLEASE SHARE WITH SOMEONE YOU LOVE. YOU COULD SAVE A LIFE! MAYBE YOUR OWN!

For further info on HIV, you can visit HIV.gov on the internet. The site provides many useful resources and helpful information.
NEW WAYS TO PREVENT HIV: 
PrEP and PEP
WHAT IS PrEP? PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) is a daily medicine (taken as a pill) that helps a person stay HIV negative and reduces the risk of contracting HIV. PrEP has been shown to work for gay and bisexual men, heterosexual women and men and people who inject drugs. PrEP can help protect anyone whose partner has HIV. Talk to your doctor to see if PrEP is right for you. For further information you can visit GetPrEPLA.com.
 
WHAT IS PEP? PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis) is emergency protection after possible exposure to HIV. If you are HIV negative and exposed to HIV, PEP can stop HIV before it infects your body. PEP can stop HIV if started within 72 hours of exposure. You continue to take PEP for 28 days. Talk to your doctor to see if PEP is right for you. For further information visit GetPrEPLA.com.
 
 
Easter Gifts To Villa Esperanza * Easter In The Park
It was a wonderful Easter for Good Shepherd. Last Thursday we distributed 100 Easter Bags to the clients and staff of Villa Esperanza. Then Easter morning we celebrated the Resurrection of Jesus Christ with a beautiful Mass In The Park. Many thanks go to the Briones family and to all who celebrated Easter with us on Sunday.

The Bible and Homosexuality...
What does the Bible REALLY have to say about homosexuality?
We have been alerted to a great little website that tackles the issue of homosexuality in the Bible. The explanations are clear and concise, and there is even a great little video to watch that really helps. All of this will give you ammunition when you get into that next argument with someone who is trying to clobber you over the head with Bible passages. Show them YOU KNOW YOUR BIBLE! CLICK HERE to check it out! Many thanks to Robert Burnham for the heads-up!
