TRUNK OR TREAT
         Trunk or Treat is THIS SUNDAY, October 17 from 3:00-5:00 PM. If you will be decorating your car and handing out candy to our guest, please make sure that you are ready to go by 2:45 PM. For all who are participating in our event, we hope you can stay around for a group supper of Subway Subs.

LONG-RANGE PLANNING MEETING
          On Sunday, October 17 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.

LITURGY SUNDAY

          On Sunday, October 24, Good Shepherd will observe Liturgy Sunday.  This service will include an explanation of each part of The Common Service which much of the Christian Church has used for centuries.  This regular and repeated use might cause us to become bored.  But our boredom likely results from not understanding the origins and the wisdom of our liturgy.  If you have ever wondered why we do what we do, this service will benefit you greatly.

REFORMATION CELEBRATION

          On Sunday, October 24, a celebration of the Lutheran Reformation will be held at Our Saviour Lutheran Church in Westland.  It will include Vespers, a meal, and a presentation on a facet of the Lutheran Reformation.  Details can be found here.

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.
