LENTEN VESPERS
Our mid-week Lenten services ponder the sufferings and death of our Lord Jesus Christ. The schedule is here for Lenten Vespers.Vespers will be at 7:00 PM. A Lenten dinner will be provided at 6:00 PM, allowing people to come from work and/or to not concern themselves with meal prep and clean up before the service.
LENTEN DINNERS
We will offer dinners before each mid-week Lenten service at 6:00 PM. The following people have agreed to provide food for these meals. You are welcome to offer assistance for any of these meals. To do so, consult with the people listed for the particular date you would like to help.
HOLY WEEK DEVOTIONS
Martin Luther College is offering devotions throughout Holy Week. They will be available to you through daily emails. If you would like to receive them, you can register for them here. They are written under the theme: "Of First Importance: Christ's Death and Resurrection for Us." Feel free to share this link with anyone.
EASTER FOR KIDS MEETING
On Sunday, March 22, we will have our final meeting to prepare for our Easter for Kids event. We will need people to attend each of the five stations for our visitors, as well as others who can assist with crafts as needed and to interact with our guests. To find out how you can serve, join us this Sunday after church.
On Wednesday, March 25, Good Shepherd welcomes the choir from Michigan Lutheran Seminary (Saginaw) to perform a sacred concert. This 33-voice high school choir will sing hymns that reflect the Lenten and Easter seasons. Invite any others to join us for this concert. A free-will offering will be taken to help defray travel expenses for the MLS choir.
CHURCH COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS (March)
> The postcards to invite people to our
Easter Festival Service on April 5 have arrived! Be sure to take as many as you can to invite
friends, family, and coworkers to our Easter services.
> We approved spending up to $25,000 to get the windows replaced above the altar and the organ pipes. The windows will have a bronze hue on the outside. The windows above the altar will have frosted glass on the inside; the windows above the organ pipes will be clear glass on the inside. Installation will take place after Easter, particularly when the lawn is not too soggy.
> Ladies of Good Shepherd, mark your calendars for our annual Ladies Brunch. The men of Good Shepherd will be pleased to serve you brunch on Saturday, May 2 at 10:00 AM. You are welcome to invite other ladies to join us for this event.
We will always have services as scheduled at Good Shepherd. Since I live across the parking lot, I can get to the church no matter how bad the weather gets. Even if the service is just me and my family, we will be here. For everyone else, please use your God-given common sense to determine whether or not you will get on the road to attend any service when the weather is bad. We don't want anyone to risk his or her life to be here. But if you do venture out, the scheduled service will take place. It may be only a handful with a cappella singing and/or spoken liturgy, but we will be here.
Bible Classes and meetings may be canceled due to weather. Check your email regarding announcements to see if any of those scheduled events are canceled. If there is no email about it, it is not canceled. But again, use common sense to determine if you can make it, and call the pastor to let him know if you will not be coming.
