FOOD DRIVE FOR SEMINARY STUDENTS
Every year, Good Shepherd participates in a food drive for the married students at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary from which we get our pastors. Our donations help to ease their expenses (tuition, books, rent, insurance, etc...) as they study for the office of the holy ministry. Non-perishable food items and toiletries can be dropped off at Good Shepherd before November 7. Gifts of money also allow students to purchase perishable food items they need.
The annual meeting for WELS Lutherans for Life will on Sunday, November 7 at 3:00 PM. We will meet at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church (17810 Farmington Road, Livonia) in the multipurpose room. The speaker will be Rev. Robert Fleischmann, president of Christian Life Resources. Rev. Fleischmann will speak about current issues that relate to the sanctity of life, stretching from the womb to the tomb. He will give direction how we can uphold the sanctity of life, encourage faithful use of God’s gifts of medicine while avoiding procedures that violate God’s word, and offer comfort and encouragement to those who battle temptations or guilt in regard to these things. Light refreshments will be provided.
CALL FOR NAMES – SAINTS TRIUMPHAT
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 15, 2020 and November 14, 2021. 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 11 will be submitted in the bulletin. Names may still be submitted as late as Sunday morning, but will not be printed in the bulletin.

PART-TIME SECRETARY NEEDED
Lisa Haase has recently accepted a position for the Novi School District and will begin her new position on November 1. This results in a need for a part-time secretary for Good Shepherd.
