The women of Shepherd’s Daughters (and Lary Hall) had a great time while cleaning Pastor’s classroom, the new Sunday School classroom, and the small kitchen. See below for the results.
Join us next time when we work again to make God’s House beautiful.
“Truly I say to you, as you did unto one of the least of these my brothers, you did unto me.” (Matt. 25:40)
Shepherd’s Care is a ministry to help those in need in our congregation. We would love to have YOU join us as we serve our fellow believers. Some examples of care provided include:
•Meals for members recovering from surgeries, hospitalizations, or illness • Rides to doctor’s appointment or run errands • Sitting with someone who is ill or recovering—both as companionship and to give a caregiver a respite • Other needs as they arise
There are no requirements to be on this team other than love for fellow church members and willingness to help. When a need arises, you help as you are able.
If you know of someone in our congregation who could use our support or if you want to help, please contact Linda, Judy, or Amber
Shepherd’s Daughters are holding a cleaning day for Pastor’s classroom and the new Sunday school room on Saturday, July 27 at 9 a.m. Please bring your equipment and supplies to clean floors, tables, woodwork, and windows. It is rumored that doughnuts may be involved.
July is the Sunday for our monthly mites collection. Please bring your mite boxes, loose change, or whatever you wish and place it in the large mite box during the offertory during worship.
Shepherd’s Daughters of LWML will meeting Tuesday, May 21 at 6 p.m. due to conflicts to the regular Saturday meeting. Meeting place is the classroom at Shepherd’s Hall.
There will be no Mite collection on Easter Sunday. The next Mite collection will be Sunday, April 28. The large Mite Box in the narthex is available if you need to empty box before then.
Shepherd’s Daughters, the GSLC branch of the LWML, raised $462.41 from its inaugural fund-raiser of a Lasagna dinner with the movie The Quiet Man. Sixty-62 tickets with sold (with some donations) and fifty-six people enjoyed plenty of food and dessert, popcorn, and a great Irish movie.
Shepherd’s Daughters plan to use the money raised for service projects.
Are you a Grandparent? Do you have Grandchildren close by? Some of the children at the ELC have that, and some don’t. Good Shepherd has had an “Adopted Grandparent/Grandchild” program for many years, but it was interrupted in 2020 when Covid made its appearance. Now it’s time to start again.
What is an Adopted Grandparent?
Someone who shares the love of Jesus with a young child?
Someone who stands in the gap for a child who needs more adults in his or her life?
Someone who visits the ELC during special events and remembers the little one’s birthday with a card and/or small gift?
Someone who calls and prays for a specific family on a regular basis?
Someone who invites the child and family to worship and/or special activities at the church?
Someone who helps a family make a connection between the ELC and the church?
Someone who would like to be blessed by having a young child run to you yelling, “Grandma, Grandpa” when you visit?
We invite you to pray about joining the Adopted Grandparent Program and enjoy the blessings of having a sweet young child be a part of your life.
Stay tuned for more information about how to become a part of this outreach ministry.
Help Shepherd’s Daughters raise money for future LWML projects by buying a ticket to their Dinner and A Movie on March 16. $8 for a lasagna plate dinner with tossed salad, Italian bread, and dump cake plus popcorn and a showing of The Quiet Man with John Wayne and Maureen O’Sullivan. Lemonade and water offered for drinks. Not a bad price for dinner, fellowship, and a great Irish movie.
Dinner starts at 5 p.m. with the movie at 6 p.m. Tickets will be available after worship on Sundays and Wednesday from February 18 to March 6. Talk to Linda Baker for more information.
Important: February’s meeting changed to Saturday, Feb. 10 to avoid Strategic Planning Retreat. Same time, same location.
The Mite contribution from 01/28/24 was $156.17. Mite collections will be the last Sunday of the month, after the regular offering. Thank you for supporting this ministry!
Mites will be collected on Sunday, 12/31/2023 during the offering. Anyone (women, men, children) may contribute even if you don’t have a Mite Box. No loose change? Don’t worry! We also accept paper currency.
From that site: Based on the Biblical account of the widow’s mite (Luke 21:1–4), the Mite Box is intended for regular contributions of “mites” — offerings above and beyond the support given to congregations and the LCMS. Mite Box contributions amount to millions of dollars that fund district and national mission grants and implement the LWML program.
Shepherd’s Daughters will meet in the Adult Bible Study Room of Shepherd’s Hall on Saturday, December 16 at 11:30 a.m. Please bring your lunch and drink. Agenda items include approval of the revamped by-laws, gifts for the students of the Early Learning Center and the Sunday School, and (if we can find a good one) video of current LWML mission projects,
Shepherd’s Daughters is for all women of Good Shepherd.
