EVERY MEMBER VISITS – 2022
Every 3-4 years, the pastor desires to meet with all members in their homes. It is an opportunity to speak with each other in a less-than-formal setting. The pastor gets to know the people he serves better. It also allows for members to ask about matters that might be personal, to offer suggestions and ideas, to inquire about matters of the Bible that have them confused, or just general chit-chat. Visits would be about 45-60 minutes but can last longer if you want them to. You can also sign up through the links below. Time slots are first come, first served. The visits will be available throughout 2022.
ASCENSION DAY
“He ascended to the right hand of God the Father Almighty.” This happened 40 days after Jesus rose from the dead. We remember this occasion in special services TONIGHT (May 26). You can find Ascension Day services at the following WELS churches.
St. Paul’s, Livonia (17810 Farmington Road) – 6:30 PM
St. Peter’s, Plymouth (1343 Penniman Avenue) – 7:00 PM
Peace, Livonia (9415 Merriman Road) – 7:00 PM
Good Shepherd will observe Ascension Day by transferring it to Sunday, May 29.

Here are some highlights from our Church Council meeting on Tuesday, May 17.
> We are exploring replacing our church sign with an LED sign.
> We still hope to begin a Mornings with Mommy group which would meet weekly, allowing us to connect with the community and, we pray, would open the door for people in the community to join our congregation. The biggest hurdle to overcome so that we can begin this program is to find a coordinator who will organize, publicize, and oversee it. It would be a paid, part-time position.
> Are you eager to see more people at Good Shepherd? Do you desire to have more people hear God’s gracious promises? Then the Evangelism Committee could use your time and ideas. To learn more, speak with Nathanael Schroeder or Pastor Schroeder.
OPEN FORUM (VOTERS’ MEETING TO FOLLOW)
On Sunday, June 12, Good Shepherd will be having an Open Forum to discuss the future plans of our congregation. In order to accomplish as much as possible, we all get to play a role and to participate in the working of the congregation. The Open Forum provides a way for you to see how and where you can be active in the work we do together. It also allows you to ask questions about Church Council discussions and to offer input and suggestions for the benefit of our congregation. All confirmed members are welcome to participate.
The Voters’ Meeting will meet immediately following the Open Forum. All men who are members in good standing and over the age of 18 are encouraged to attend.

FAMILY VBS
On Monday – Wednesday (July 25-27), from 6:30-8:00 PM, Good Shepherd will host its Family VBS. The children will have their lessons, make crafts, and learn songs as the adults gather in the chapel for presentations and discussions relevant to them. Our topic will be concerning the reliability of the Bible: The Bible Is Up To the Challenge. More details to come.GOOD SHEPHERD ON YOUTUBE
