JESUS CARES MINISTRIES -- Worship at the Cross
IT IS A “GO!” Good Shepherd will be offering worship services and a Sunday School class for people with developmental disabilities. It is designed to serve people with the Gospel who are mostly neglected in our area. We also have an official date and time. This service will be offered on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 6:30 PM. Our start date will be Tuesday, December 11 at 6:30 PM. Subsequent dates will be January 8 and February 12. The service is called "Worship at the Cross," since the word "worship" describes what we are doing better than Jesus Cares Ministries. (NOTE: Jesus Cares Ministries and Worship at the Cross may be used interchangeably. While Jesus Cares Ministries offers other programs, for our purposes, they refer to the same thing.)
In order to assure that we are prepare for our first Worship at the Cross service, we will have a organizational/dry-run meeting on Tuesday, November 13 at 6:30 PM. If you are interested or simply would like more information, please join us. If you are interested but will be unavailable for the meeting, please speak to Pastor Schroeder
Finally, in order for this ministry to truly be of service to those who need it, we need to publicize this. If you know of anyone with developmental disabilities (e.g., Down Syndrome, Autism, et al.), please inform them of our Worship at the Cross efforts. Word of mouth is usually best received, but you can help us get the word out in other ways, too. Once again—we begin on Tuesday, December 11 at 6:30 PM.

SUNDAY NIGHT BIBLE SERIES
BLOOD DRIVE: St. Peter's is exploring hosting a Red Cross Blood Drive in November. We need a commitment of 45 potential donors. The date will be publicized when the Red Cross receives our commitment. It is hoped the donation time will run from afternoon into the evening to afford the greatest opportunity for participation. If any member of your congregation is interested, please contact our church office to let us know. N.B. This is not an ironclad commitment at this point. We need at least 45 possible donors to receive a Red Cross date and time slot.
Thanks Pastor Paul Schaefer

CHORAL FEST AT HVL
On the weekend of November 9-11, Huron Valley Lutheran High School will be hosting Choral Fest. It is a gathering of choirs from area Lutheran high schools around the country resulting in a choir of perhaps 200 voices, joining to unite their voices in praise to God. There will be two concerts given by these choirs. On Friday, November 9 at 7:00 PM, each high school's swing choir will perform for a Pops Concert. On Sunday, November 11, there will be a mass choir presenting a sacred concert at 2:00 PM.
CHORAL FEST HOST FAMILIES NEEDED
In order to accommodate all the choirs who will be coming to HVL, associate congregations will need families to host the teens from these choirs. Families who are willing will be asked to host at least two choir members (you can request more if you have the room) from Thursday night (November 8) through Sunday morning (November 11). They will mainly need lodging and transportation to and from HVL. (Some car-pooling to and from Good Shepherd may be arranged.) Good Shepherd will be hosting Manitowoc Lutheran High School who is coming with 24 people.
As a “thank you” for hosting, it is customary for the choir whom Good Shepherd hosts to sing for our service on the Sunday morning of Choral Fest.
If you are willing to host some choir members or have questions, you may speak to Dan & Mary LeFevre.
CALL FOR NAMES – SAINTS TRIUMPHANT
Every year, we remember the names of loved ones who have died in the Christian faith, praising God for the mercy he has had upon them and thanking God for preserving them in that saving faith throughout their life. Normally, the names of these departed souls are recalled in a prayer on All Saints' Day, which is November 1. Since Good Shepherd does not have a specific All Saints' Day service, we transfer this prayer and these remembrances to the 3rd Sunday of End Times which focuses on Saints Triumphant.
In addition to members of Good Shepherd who have been called to eternal rest, you may submit the names of your own loved ones who have died in the Christian faith between November 19, 2017 and November 18, 2018. When submitting these names, please included
1. the name of the deceased
2. your name
3. how he/she was related to you
4. the dates of his/her birth and death, if known
All names given by to Thursday, November 15 will be submitted in the bulletin. Names may still be submitted as late as Sunday morning, but will not be printed in the bulletin.
PICTORIAL DIRECTORY
If you were not able to get your photograph included for our upcoming pictorial directory, please speak with Dan Rauchholz about how your photo can still be included. But please note: Time is running short to be included!
