INTRODUCTION VIDEO FOR GOOD SHEPHERD LUTHERAN CHURCH
Here is a video to introduce people to Good Shepherd Lutheran Church of Novi. Share it as much as you can.
This Sunday (July 21), the Stewardship and Evangelism Committees will meet to discuss plans that will extend to the end of 2024. If you have ideas for congregational outings or activities, please join us and help us make these events a pleasant experience for all.
> 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 10. We thank the new members who have come from Lola Park for their generous contribution toward the purchase of this sign!
> 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.
> A suggestion was made to improve the tinting on the window above the altar. Anyone who sits on the north side of the church in the summer knows how blinding it can be. We will explore options to limit the effects of glaring sunlight on our worshipers.
On Thursday, August 8, we will be hosting a night of fun and food (6:00 - 8:30 PM). We will have a food truck from Messy Ace’s Ribshack. In addition, we will have a bouncy house for kids as well as various lawn games. (A putt-putt golf course is a possibility.) Food will be served around 6:00 PM and people are welcome to stay as long as the sunlight holds out. Invite your friends to join us.
EVERYONE OUTREACH
We would like to foster an outreach mindset that permeates throughout our congregation. In order to establish this as a culture in our congregation, we are encouraging all members of Good Shepherd to attend a one-day seminar on Saturday, September 21. We are seeking a commitment both to the seminar (which will run from 8:00 AM - 2:00 PM) and to the outreach culture we want embedded in our thinking, planning, and interacting. We will need at least 20 people in attendance to make the seminar worthwhile. There is a sign-up sheet at church to indicate if you will be in attendance.
GOOD SHEPHERD ON YOUTUBE
During the summer months, it is more enjoyable to read outside than in the office, weather permitting. Call or text to confirm any meetings with the pastor (248-719-5218).
SHARE THIS POST!
We desire as many as possible to rejoice in the Gospel which we proclaim and confess. Share the information from our weekly email blast, links to our web page, and even to the pastor's blog to let others know that we have a space in our congregation for them!
In Christ,
Pastor Schroeder
