INTRODUCTION VIDEO FOR GOOD SHEPHERD LUTHERAN CHURCH
Here is a video to introduce people to Good Shepherd Lutheran Church of Novi. Share it as much as you can.
THANKSGIVING WORSHIPWe will have our Thanksgiving service on Wednesday, November 27 at 7:00 PM.
CHURCH COUNCIL
HIGHLIGHTS (November)
Ø We are
looking into updating the kitchen at the church. Several ideas have been proposed for what
will best suit our purposes. If you have
any ideas to enhancements to our kitchen, please speak to Bob Wozniak. All suggestions will be received, but we may
not be able to achieve all of them.
Ø
A proposal was made to renovate the
kitchen in the parsonage. This is a
much larger project and would not happen until late in 2025.
Ø
Other projects which are
needed for both the church property and parsonage were suggested and will
likely be discussed at the November 17 Open Forum, although no specific dates
for these projects have been set in stone yet.
Ø We will
be getting postcards printed to give out as invitations to our Christmas
services. In order to make these
postcards worth the cost and effort, it will be up to our members to distribute
them as invitations to friends and family.
You may also want to invite friends and family to a new Bible
Information Class which will begin in January 2025. Start date still TBD.
On Sunday, November 17 after church, we will have an open forum to present the proposed budget and highlight plans for the coming months and year. All members of Good Shepherd are welcome to attend, to ask questions, and to offer suggestions. Most importantly, the presentations at the open forum show how you can be a part of the activities we do as a congregation.
The Voters’ Meeting will follow the open forum and formally adopt any motions based on feedback from the open forum.
EVERYONE OUTREACH – FOLLOW-UP
Our one-day seminar, Everyone Outreach, was completed on Saturday, September 21. But to establish an outreach culture, we will need to keep our goals present and encourage one another to pursue them. There will be follow-up meetings (TBA) where we can encourage efforts and discuss what has been accomplished so far. The Church Council will be taking the lead as we will dedicate a good portion of our next meeting to how we will implement our plans.
The made. known. website was introduced at the WELS Youth Rally earlier this summer. madeknown.net is dedicated to “walking with you in faith through identity, gender, and sexuality.” It does this through a growing library of written resources and connection to personal support.
We pray madeknown.net can be a resource to you as you embrace Christ’s enduring message of grace and forgiveness for yourself and your loved ones.

In Christ,
Pastor Schroeder
