HELPING WITH SLEEPING SPACE We have housed and will continue to provide sleeping space for individuals and groups who come to help with the tornado relief. Be sure to say ‘hi’ and welcome them to Good Shepherd, then thank them for coming to help.
THRIVENT MATCHING FUNDS If you would like to donate money for tornado relief to either Immanuel or Peace Lutheran in Joplin, Thrivent will match $1.00 for each $3.00 raised. You can give your donation through Good Shepherd, and we will see that it goes where you have designated it.
ASSISTIVE LISTENING If you are having a hard time hearing the service, assistive listening devices are available from the ushers. They work like a transistor radio and you can control the volume.

PRAYER BEARS are in the sanctuary pews and available to be signed out (notebook in narthex) and given to anyone that needs God’s love, comfort, and peace. We have had reports and words of thanks from folks being blessed by this outreach ministry.
