NEW HYMN TUNE FOR SUNDAY, JUNE 2
Once again, just looking at the title of a hymn can fool you into thinking you know it. Surprise! They changed the tune on another one. This coming Sunday, the hymn "Jesus, My Great High Priest" will have a new tune. For the sake of gaining some familiarity with the new tune before Sunday, you can hear it at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3KXlyvqiTk . This is just the tune; there are no lyrics with it.
CHURCH COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS (May)
> A down payment of about $13,000 was paid to the Johnson Sign Co. to begin the work on installing the LED sign for church. Currently, the delay is due to needing the City of Novi to issue a variance so that the sign can be placed a little closer to the road. We do anticipate that the variance will be issued, but it will not be addressed by the City of Novi until July. Offerings for the new sign can still be given. You may designate your donations to “New Sign”. To date over $1,300 has been donated for the $27,000 cost.
> A one-day evangelism seminar called “Everyone Outreach” will be offered at Good Shepherd. The presenter will be Pastor Norman Burger of Shepherd of the Hills in Lansing. The seminar is to assist us in establishing an outreach culture that permeates through the whole congregation. We hope to have a great turnout as we want this culture to affect all of us. We expect the seminar to be held on Saturday, September 21. It will involve a full morning session (8:00 AM – Noon), lunch, and then a one-hour session in the early afternoon. In order to establish an outreach culture in our congregation, it is essential that as many from our congregation attend this seminar. Please reserve the date and commit to being here for an impactful presentation..
> Dan Schneider has had contact with the City of Novi to see if they will follow up on their proposal to install a new, more handicapped friendly sidewalk. It would go out the door to the south and end at about the 4th parking space on the east side of the parking lot. If the City of Novi has the funds to install it, they will likely try to get it done before the November election. There has been no further update from the City of Novi for this project.
We will be having an Open Forum on Sunday, June 12 after church. We will give updates on some of the projects we have in the works, as well as seeking to incorporate new members into areas of service. Questions and suggestions are always welcome. If there is a particular item of business that you think should be on the agenda, you may suggest it to Dan LeFevre or Pastor Schroeder prior to June 12.
The Voters' Meeting will follow the Open Forum immediately afterward.
