Christian Life

Thanks to everyone who helped make the dedication day a celebration.  There are those who helped with the services and all the special music, the decorations and special cleaning, preparing and getting the food ready for the meal and the refreshments later, getting and moving tables and chairs and all the other tasks that needed to be done.  Thank you!  Thank you!

You Are My All In All

Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee

The Service of Dedication for our expanded facilities will be next Sunday, November 1st, at 10:45 am. That will be the only service that morning. We will have a congregational potluck dinner at noon (the meat will be furnished), and a Service of Praise and Thanksgiving at 2:30 pm. The Rev. Brad Zerkel, a former member of our congregation, and Pastor of Our Redeemer Lutheran, Kansas City, will be our guest speaker for the afternoon service. The Rev. Dr. David Johns will serve as the guest organist for both services. Refreshments will be served after the afternoon service.

MOUNTAIN DULCIMER DEMONSTRATION and beginner class will be held September 16th from 7:00-8:00 pm here at Good Shepherd.  Elaine S., the 2004 Southern Regional Champion, will be the instructor.  For more information, contact Lee Ann B.  Lee Ann assures us that no special musical talent is required, and that anyone can learn to play the dulcimer.

September 19-20 We have reserved space for 22 ladies to attend the first, we hope annual, Women’s Retreat. We will be heading off to Heit’s Point, Lincoln, MO, on Saturday morning, September 19th, probably around 8:00. We’ll eat a brunch along the way and arrive at our destination probably around noon. The retreat, as of yet, does not have a theme. We have two gals, Leta Anderson and Lisa Simmons, who will be our leaders for our time at Heit’s Point. We do have planned a short drive to Cole Camp to attend a Contemporary Wor-ship Service at Trinity Lutheran Church at 6:30 Saturday evening, followed by a camp fire back at Heit’s Point. The total cost will run somewhere between $65.00 to $80.00 each. This includes the cost of your room, four meals, gas, and any extras. (This is based on 22 attending, with four to a room.) We can probably get more rooms if we need them, but initially we will have to go with the first 22 who sign up. So call early and reserve your spot. Contact Lora S. or Mary P., 358-1325, to make your reservation.

This is a LWML sponsored event, but not at all lim-ited to LWML members only. We want any and all ladies who are interested to attend.
