Thank You Bob Meffert! After 43 years of directing our church choir Bob is setting down the baton.  We offer our thanks to Bob and his many years of service to the Lord and His church and we pray that he enjoys his new found freedom to spend time with Mary and his family in the coming years.  Please join us in thanking him for his commendable service to our church community. 

Tee-Shirts: There are a few extra Good Shepherd tee-shirts left for sale.  Limited sizes- they are $10 each.  Please check in the back of Fellowship Hall between services or see pastor if you would like one.  THANKS to all who purchased shirts - wear them often.  

Thanks!  We would like to say it was nice to help keep the Church clean, but it is getting to be too much for us to handle.  August 21st was our last day for cleaning the Church. A big thank-you to everybody who helped us when we asked for extra help!   Thanks, Lorie Thooft Family

Attention Golfers!  We are looking at possibly the 19th of September for resuming the annual Good Shepherd family golf outing at Cottonwood Golf Club.  We'd start early in the afternoon, play nine holes and end up with fellowship and a pot luck at the clubhouse.  Golfers and hackers are all welcome.  Let Doreen Peterson or Darwin Leek know if you can attend.

The Voice (our church newsletter) will only be distributed in limited printed numbers beginning in September as it will be sent to family e-mail accounts in an easy to open format.  If you do not have access to e-mail or the internet please let Cindy know in the church office.
