Greetings!
REGULAR SCHEDULE
Divine Services are at 10:00 AM on Sundays, in person and on Facebook Live. Share our services and invite friends to tune in.
Sunday School and Adult Bible Class are Sundays at 8:45 AM.
Our Adult Bible Class will study the book of Daniel. The tentative schedule can be found here.
Bible Matters, a discussion group, will resume on Wednesday, September 15 at 7:00 PM. The schedule of discussion topics can be found here.
On Saturday, September 18 at 10:00 AM, the women and girls of Good Shepherd will join together at the church for fellowship and encouragement. We will consider various ways we can serve each other with care, concern, and camaraderie, as well as how we can serve our congregation at large. We can use get togethers like this to tighten the ties that bind us together and to aid one another in our Christian life. Guests are welcome, too. For more information, please speak with Georgene Kinsman.
COLLEGE STUDENTS
If you are attending college, you might find your faith under a greater attack than it has been. You need Jesus and a church to attend all the more during these years. In order to ensure a connection with a congregation near your school and to maintain contact with Good Shepherd, we need your contact information while you are at school. We will help you find a church in your area which is faithful to God's word. You will also be supplied with devotional materials for your daily benefit. Please email the church (welsnovi@aol.com) to update your contact information.
TRUNK OR TREAT
We are hoping to have our annual Trunk or Treat on Sunday, October 17 from 3:00-5:00 PM (the time may be altered; stay tuned). In order to be assured that we will provide an enjoyable experience for the guests who might come to us, we need to know who would be willing and able to decorate their cars and be here for the Trunk or Treat. As of this writing, are you able to be here? If so, please speak to Pastor Schroeder at your earliest convenience. We should have at least eight vehicles; more are better.
LONG-RANGE PLANNING MEETING
On Sunday, September 19 after church, we will have our monthly Long-Range Planning meeting. The main focus is to determine a vision for what we want our congregation to look like in three years, five years, and/or ten years. Once we have a goal in mind, we can take the steps necessary to get there. The steps will be delegated to the committees we have. All are welcomed and encouraged to be a part of the Long-Range Planning meeting and the committees that will follow up to see that our plans are put to work. Planning great things only goes so far. We need our members committed to doing them and praying that God will bless them. If you have question about the Long-Range Planning committee, please speak to Rob Skrycki.
UPCOMING MEETINGS
The Evangelism and Stewardship Committees will meet after church on Sunday, September 26. All members are welcome to join us for plans both for outreach and for strengthening the bonds of our own congregation.
GOOD SHEPHERD 40TH ANNIVERSARY BOOK
A pictorial retrospective of Good Shepherd has been produced and is at church. You are welcome to look through it. While there are many photos, there is also a lot of information about the history of the congregation. So, if you look at it, you will probably not be able to read through all the articles. The copy at church will be placed in Good Shepherd’s library, but you may want your own copy. We will contact Shutterfly to see what kind of discounted rate we can get for a bulk order. (Without discounts, the books runs well over $100.) We will see how many are interested in a copy, understanding that you may change your mind if the cost ends up being too high. NOTE: Orders are being taken until September 26.
OFFICE HOURS
Office hours are Monday-Thursday, 9:00 AM – Noon.
The pastor will be in his office unless a meeting has been scheduled elsewhere (consult the weekly schedule). The pastor is also available by appointment. Call or text (248-719-5218). You may also email (welsnovi@aol.com), but the response may be slower.
