Congregation and Community News

Facebook:  We are now on Facebook!  Just go to facebook.com and search for Good Shepherd Lutheran Church. 

Sunday School Students Grades 2-8 will be singing in the service on Sunday, Feb. 14.  Please have students here by 8:45 am to warm up.

See the Dead Sea Scrolls on Saturday, March 20.  We will leave Good Shepherd at 8:00 AM and carpool to the MN Science Museum for a 2:00 exhibition.  Admission to the museum and exhibition is a group rate of $22.00 for adults and $18.00 for children 4-12.  We will stop for supper on the way home to fellowship and discuss our impression of the Scrolls.  Sign up in the fellowship hall or register here.  See Pastor Jonah if you have any questions.

Because of your generosity our congregation gave $1,675.00 to LCMS World Relief – Human Compassion Fund for Haiti.  Thrivent will match that 2 to 1.  Praise the Lord! 

Creation Speaker:  Brian Young, a nationally known speaker and author will be sharing at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Fulda at 6:30pm on Sunday, March 7th.  Many creation questions will be answered.  Although all ages are welcome and will enjoy the topics, the information will be most beneficial for ages 10 and up.  See posters in the fellowship hall for more information.

Ladies!  The Chick Flick for the month of February will be '13 going on 30'.  Join us on Friday, February 12th at 6pm for dinner (pizza- a teenager’s favorite!), the movie, and Bible Study.  Feel free to leave your adult self at home and bring the teenager in you!  Sign up in the Fellowship Hall or click here

Lenten Suppers: It is time to sign up for the Lenten Suppers.  We need volunteers to serve the six Wednesday evening suppers starting with Ash Wednesday on February 17th.  A signup sheet will be posted in the Fellowship Hall.  Please prayerfully consider volunteering for serving a Lenten supper.

LWML Meeting:  The Feb. 10 meeting for LWML will be held at Jean Leek’s home at 7:30 PM (205 Carrow St.).  All women are welcome.  Need a ride, directions, or have questions??  Call Jean at 532-3721.

Volunteers:  For the 4th year, Western Community Action is coordinating Free Tax Preparation Services for low to moderate income individuals and families!  They ask that you consider volunteering for this time-limited (February through April) opportunity.  The following positions are available:

Tax preparer:  This position involves learning the Tax Wise software used at the clinics in preparing federal and state returns for customers.  Don’t worry about a lack of experience as training is provided (and required). 

Greeter/Screener:  This position involves checking customers in to the tax clinic, and informing them about our tax site process.
