Christian Life

The LWML is sponsoring a Christmas Holiday centered evening for all the ladies of the congregation, Sunday, December 10, at 5:30 pm, in the Fellowship Hall of the church.

You don’t have to be a member of LWML, or a participant in the Secret Sister Program, to take part in  this evening of fun with your fellow Good Shepherd Christian Sisters.

It will be a salad supper, so please bring a salad to share.  Drinks and dessert will be provided.  There will be a Christmas ornament exchange for those who would like to participate and secret sisters will be revealed.  Come and join us for an evening of Christmas fun and festivities!  If you have questions, you can contact Lora W.

This fall marks the 30th year of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church. To celebrate this milestone, the Fellowship Committee is planning a pot-luck lunch for Sunday, November 5, after the 10:45 am service. The Fellowship Committee will be providing the dessert, cake & ice cream. Everyone is asked to bring a dish or two to share, a German theme has been suggested, but of course, all dishes are welcome. Hoping to have everyone together for a wonderful celebration of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church!

If you are looking for a fun weekend of camping and fishing, then please join us the weekend of Oct. 6-7, for  the annual guys fall fishing retreat and campout.  The guys will be going to Dale & LeeAnn B.’ property, which is located just north of Lockwood.  There is a large stocked pond for fishing from the bank.  Men and boys of all ages are welcome — and bring your friends!

Contact Dale with any questions.  Watch for the sign up sheet in the narthex.  Hope to see you there.

Please, remember the Joplin screening of the new Luther movie which – as you may be aware – was produced in commemoration of the 500^th anniversary of the Lutheran Reformation.  This movie, Martin Luther: The Idea That Changed The World, is scheduled to be shown at the Joplin Northstar Stadium 14 theater on Thursday, September 28, 2017 at 7:30 pm.  A minimum of 100 reservations will need to be made by September 20^th in order  for the screening to take place. At this point only 28 tickets have been reserved.  The tickets are $9 for all audience members.  This screening is being cohosted by Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, Carthage and Immanuel Lutheran Church, Joplin.  Please reserve your tickets ASAP so we will be able to take advantage of this opportunity.

Here is a shortcut to the website that was set up to provide moviegoers with information about the movie and a mechanism to reserve tickets specifically for the Joplin screening: http://joplin.newluthermovie.com/.
