Good Samaritan Lutheran Church, (Good Sam for short)

Is a gathering of families and community people in Southern Maryland who value worshipping together and gathering around the Feast of Jesus (the communion meal).  A young congregation is a couple of ways; lots of families with young children and the congregation is just 15 years old.

Good Sam in situation in the edge of Lexington Park and desires to be intentional about connecting with the community around us, many of whom are poorer and struggle to get by.  So we enjoy engaging the community around our Food Pantry program (called “Our Daily Bread)  and are pleased to host St Mary’s Caring Soup Kitchen on our property.

Our facilities are used by Boy Scouts, Girls Scouts, AA groups, VA Counselling site, other church groups, County Quilters group, Youth Concert Groups and more.

Our Jr High and Sr High youth groups are pretty active.  We had a nice Confirmation Class this last year and are pretty proud of our young people.  Our Sr High group sent Twelve youth to the ELCA National Youth Gathering in New Orleans this last summer.  There we learned more about Discipleship, Justice and Peacemaking.  The 100 Wells Project was a highlight and Good Sam made a significant contribution…

Thanks Good Sam.
