A PHOTO MEMORY BOOK was given to each of the Laborers for Christ consisting of photos taken while working on the addition. A copy is on the cabinet in the narthex. It is also available to you to preview or purchase at: http://goodshepherdlutheran.shutterfly.com. Prints of individual photos are also available for preview and purchase on the same site, (more photos are available than were included in the photo book). Any questions, contact Dave W.
ARE YOU 70 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER? Be sure to mark Sunday, November 15th, on your calendar. You won’t want to miss the annual 70 & Over Dinner prepared and served by the Youth Group, just for you, the elders of our congregation. More information will be in the November Shepherd’s Staff.
