The main focus of our Stewardship Committee currently is to improve the bonds of fellowship among our members. We also are striving to expand this to have members more aware of their role in the synod and to find ways to demonstrate Christian love to our community. We will be meeting to make plans to strive toward these goals at our meeting Sunday, September 29 at 11:15 AM. All members are encouraged to participate in our Stewardship efforts to help Good Shepherd be a vibrant, caring congregation.
Items up for discussion: Octoberfest plans (Oct 6); Trunk or Treat plans (Oct 19); Mission Festival meal and presentation (Oct 20); ways to serve in the community; fellowship activity in November (what and when TBD).

Lutheran worship is liturgical. While that often refers to an order of worship, it can also refer to the calendar of the Church Year. The Church Year includes major festivals, such as Christmas, Epiphany, Easter, Pentecost, etc... September 29 is a minor festival, the Festival of St. Michael and All Angels.
At this festival, we praise God for his servants, the angels. God employs angels to watch over his people (Psalm 91:9-12; Hebrews 1:14). When we survey the Scriptures, we see that angels do much more. They proclaim God’s praise and they point us to Christ as the Savior of all mankind. On Sunday, September 29, we will heed the angel’s words, giving our attention to the grace God has poured out on all the world through Christ.
Support Our Collegiate Students (SOS)
After church on Sunday, October 13, the Ladies of Good Shepherd will be meeting to discuss upcoming events and package eleven SOS packages. This should not take too much time. Your interest/involvement in these opportunities is appreciated by so many. We also are accepting your financial support. Hope to see you there. If you have any questions, please contact Cathy Mowers, cmowers@comcast.net or Georgene Kinsman, gjkinsman@sbcglobal.net
