EVENTS THIS FALL
Octoberfest, a celebration of the Lutheran Reformation, will be on Sunday, September 28.  (Yes, I know, SEPTEMBER. But that’s when they do it in Munich, so there!) The schedule for our Octoberfest is:

               5:00 PM -- Vespers
               5:30 PM – A bratwurst dinner
               6:30 PM – Luther Lecture (Frederick the Wise, elector of Saxony, protector of Luther)
In order to make sure we will have enough food on hand for this event, please RSVP to welsnovi@aol.com, indicating your name and how many will be coming to this event. If you would be so willing, please bring a salad, side dish, or dessert to round out the meal.

Trunk or Treat will be Sunday, October 26 (3:00 - 5:00 PM).

6th Grade Bible History will begin on Wednesday, September 24 (5:00-6:00 PM).

ROAD CONSTRUCTION
          9 Mile Road between Haggerty and Meadowbrook 
is OPEN in both directions.  It is also nice and smooth.  Enjoy the drive! 

CHRISTIAN FUNERAL
The funeral for Cheryl Crenshaw will be tomorrow (Friday, September 19) at 11:00 AM.  Please keep the Crenshaw family in your prayers.

CHURCH COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS (September)

>  Our projector has not been consistent in projecting.  Since it is better than ten years old, we are considering a replacement.  We are looking into getting a smart TV with interactive capabilities which allows HDMI input as well as ability to draw with a special, electronic pen.  

>  We are hoping to get handicapped accessible entry via push-button installed in the coming weeks.  Currently, the parts are back-ordered.  So, we will wait. 

>  We plan on added to our Servant Keeper office management system to allow for texting to large groups, similar to the email blasts, but with texting.  When it is ready to go, we will do a test run after church some Sunday.  

>  After a number of years of service, Pamela Mattison will no longer be cleaning our facility.  Her health is preventing her from continuing.  We thank her for her service and will be planning on hiring a professional janitorial service soon.

GOOD SHEPHERD ON YOUTUBE
           Services are uploaded to YouTube each week. Feel free to share the videos. Here is the Divine Service from September 14, 2025. (1718) Good Shepherd Novi, Divine Service, September 14, 2025 - YouTube

REGULAR OFFICE HOURS
          For the most part, the pastor will be observing formal office hours (Monday-Thursday, 9:00 AM – Noon). Occasionally, duties will take him away from the office during these scheduled times, so you will still want to call or text to confirm any meetings with the pastor (248-719-5218).
