Church celebrates three-year anniversary

        The Church of the Good Shepherd near Unionville will celebrate it's three-year anniversary on Aug. 24.
        The non-denominational congregation meets in Buena Vista valley, below the ghost town of Unionville. The church was founded by D.W. Hutson "in order to provide a more liturgical form of worship for those who had, for whatever reason, become dissatisfied with the churches that they were attending," he said.
        Hutson said the church was founded in order to provide a place of worship for those people who live in the valley and are unable to make the long-distance drive to a larger town for church.
        "Good Shepherd is doctrinally conservative and adheres to the conservative view of Holy Scripture. We accept the Bible as the word of God, and as such, we consider it to be the rule and norm for all doctrine and belief," the reverend said. "The church uses liturgical form of worship."
        An order for service is followed and Holy Communion is celebrated every Sunday. Evening prayer service is held Thursday evenings at 7 p.m.
        "The Church welcomes all who wish to attend," Pastor Hutson said. A fellowship meal follows after the Sunday service.
        "It's mostly a potluck," Hutson said. The church accepts no monetary donations, but will accept donations of non-perishable food items and clothing. These items are taken to Lovelock and given to those who need them in Pershing County.
        Hutson was ordained to the ministry in June of 2003; he is currently engaged in studying to obtain a doctor-of-theology degree from Grace Bible College Seminary.
        Church is about proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ, he said.
        Huston is "available to those who need pastoral help, whether they are members of the congregation or not."
        The church is located at 16500 State Route 400, Unionville, Nev. Call (775) 578-7570 for further information.
