During the month of March, we will be collecting teddy bears which will then be donated through Ascension Providence Park to children who are in St. John's Children's Hospital downtown Detroit and who are admitted to the ER at Ascension Providence Park. Teddy bears are to be new. Used and even gently used teddy bears are not permitted due to germs or other contaminates that may come from someone's home. Drop-offs to Good Shepherd can be made on Sundays, during office hours, or by appointment.
OFFICE HOURS
Regular office hours at Good Shepherd will be Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM. While there may be some flexibility to this schedule, we will try to keep it as regular as possible.
BAD WEATHER POLICY FOR SERVICES AT GOOD SHEPHERD
We will always have services as scheduled at Good Shepherd. Since I live across the parking lot, I can get to the church no matter how bad the weather gets. Even if the service is just me and my family, we will be here. For everyone else, please use your God-given common sense to determine whether or not you will get on the road to attend any service when the weather is bad. We don't want anyone to risk his or her life to be here. But if you do venture out, the scheduled service will take place. It may be only a handful with a cappella singing and/or spoken liturgy, but we will be here.
Bible Classes and meetings may be canceled due to weather. Check your email regarding announcements to see if any of those scheduled events is canceled. If there is no email about it, it is not canceled. But again, use common sense to determine if you can make it, and call the pastor to let him know if you will not be coming.

Our Lenten schedule for mid-week Vespers is below. The overriding theme for our Lenten Vespers, a prayer service, is The Crucified King.
Theme Supper
March 4 The King Betrayed Soup (chicken noodle; black bean)
March 11 The King's Wisdom Chili, with salad and cornbread
March 18 The King on the Cross Pizza and salad
March 25 The Crucified King Sub sandwiches
April 1 The King Mocked TBD
Supper will be served at 6:00 PM; Vespers begins at 7:00 PM.
Starting on Sunday, March 8 we will begin the series, “Bible Symbols.” While the Bible is written in clear language, it sometimes uses symbolism to reveal God's word to us. Such symbolism, while it can be confusing, also serves to illustrate God's mercy and salvation to us. In order to gain a deeper understanding of God's mercy and salvation, it serves us well to be familiar with the Bible's symbolism and word pictures. (The class schedule has been posted in the church on several bulletin boards.)
The book “God's Imagery” has been ordered (cost will be $17) and should be here (hopefully) by Sunday, March 1. If you need to, you can order it on your own through Northwestern Publishing House (www.nph.net).
