Christian Life

Easter morning, around 8:30 am, the GSLC tradition of sharing an Easter Breakfast together will take place.

This event, sponsored again by the Lutheran Women’s Missionary League, can only happen with the help of the whole congregation.  The LWML, along with the help of the Lutheran Youth Fellowship, will see to setting up, serving and cleaning up.  Along with your donations of breakfast casseroles, fruit, sweet rolls, and drinks, etc., we will all enjoy, once again, good food and great fellowship as we celebrate Easter, the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior.

Please use the sign–up sheets in the narthex to let us know what you are willing to bring, or call the church  office, 358-1325.

LOVE OFFERING  We will be taking a free will love offering for the breakfast, that will go toward our Lutheran Youth Fellowship (LYF).

A new group of single, senior ladies is forming at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church.  Come join them for some fellowship, fun and snacks one Sunday afternoon a month at the church.  Watch the bulletin announcements for the date of the next get together.  For questions or more information please contact Ann L.

The Ladies’ Night Out dinner, with a St. Patrick’s Day theme, has been set, so mark your calendars for this fun-filled event which only happens once a year!

Ladies, the men will be serving us, so come prepared for a nice dinner. Guys, this is your night to serve and clean up. Come and enjoy some wonderful food, entertainment, a fun fellowship.

We will also have our famous dessert bar. Bring a favorite dessert to add to the dessert buffet.

Please use the sign-up sheet in the narthex, or call the church office, 358-1325, if you plan to attend, so we will know how much food to prepare. You won’t want to miss this enjoyable gathering!

Those familiar conversation hearts that show up every February can be more than just trite romantic or friendly sayings. Use them  to remind you, or to teach a child, of the greatest love of all: God’s love for us, which empowers our love for others. For example:

• TRUE LOVE: What love is truer than giving up one’s only Son so people might have everlasting life? (John 3:16).
  • MINE: Jesus knows us intimately, as a shepherd knows his sheep. No one can snatch us from him (John 10:27-29).
  • FOREVER: God loves us with an “everlasting love” (Jeremiah 31:3).
  • LOVE ME: The greatest commandment is to love God with our whole being (Luke 10:27).
  • TRUST ME: “Let not your hearts be troubled.” We can count on Jesus, now and for eternal life (John 14:1-3).
  • SWEET TALK: God’s words are sweeter than honey (Psalm 119:103).
  • BE GOOD: We show our love for Christ by keeping his commands (John 14:15).
  • CALL ME: God longs to be in fellowship with us. We can talk to him anytime in prayer (Jeremiah 33:3).
  • FRIENDS: The greatest love involves laying down your life for your friends (John 15:13) — precisely what Jesus did.
  • #1: “We love because [God] first loved us” (1 John 4:19).
