The Price is Right

The Price is Right
The served and the servers alike at the 70 & Over meal last month concentrate as they try to guess the price of a common item from 1959. The game was part of the evening’s activities as the youth group again treated those in our congrega-tion, who were 70 years of age and over, to a wonderful meal. While they may have struggled to come up with the right price of a loaf of bread or a gallon of gas back in 1959, all present were re-minded that our salvation is no mystery, but a free gift of God through our Lord and Savior Jesus.

Joy Comes in Pairs

Joy Comes in Pairs
In light of the necessities of life, walking barefoot may seem minor, but for millions of children around the world their bare feet are subjected to in-fections that can lead to crippling consequences, disease and even death. The Sunday School offerings, now through to the end of the year, will go to help purchase and send pairs of clog type, all-terrain shoes to children in need worldwide.

Think Pink!

pink_ribbon001Due to the very busy schedule we have had here at Good Shepherd, October (Breast Cancer Awareness Month) flew right by. So we’re thinking pink in November! Sunday, November 15th, we’re inviting our members to wear pink to church, not only to remind us of the importance of annual check-ups, but to recognize and pay tribute to the many breast cancer patients, both current and past, here among us at Good Shepherd. If you would like to honor someone (no names, please), you can purchase a pink carnation for $2.50 or a pink rose for $3.00 to be displayed in arrangements at the services that day. There is a sign-up sheet and collection basket in the narthex. 4-All Occasions Florist is working with us on the arrangements. If the amount collected exceeds the final cost, the money will be donated to a local breast cancer organization, such as the American Cancer Society. THINK PINK!

Youth Group Offering Services

Are you in need of someone to baby-sit? Do you need someone to help with yard work, like leaf raking? Nine youth group members have registered to attend the National Youth Group Gathering in July 2010. To help fund their trip, the youth group is offering their services for a donation. If you would like some help, please contact Sandy D. to coordinate. In December, the Youth Group is planning a Babysitting Saturday so that parents can go Christmas shopping. Watch the bulletin and the December Newsletter for dates and times.
