ELCA National Youth Gathering Houston, TX
June 27-July 1, 2018: Remember Anna in Prayers!
Ephesians 2:8
“For by grace you have been saved
through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.”
Youth and adults from across the nation gather in Houston, TX from June 26th
to July 1st to pray, praise, serve, and love at the national youth gathering
under the theme of “This Changes Everything.” According to the youth
gathering website, “the logo incorporates the coming together of a mosaic
to reflect the diverse host city of Houston, as well as the idea that we are
a church where all are imperfect and incomplete, yet we each belong in – and
have an important place in – God’s masterpiece. The cross at the center of
the logo is the focus – it is God’s grace, through Christ’s life, death and
resurrection, that changes everything for all people.” Anna Patterson is
attending the gathering from our church. Please pray for her and all the
participants at the gathering.
Food Pantry Volunteers
Good Shepherd volunteers at the food pantry on the 4th Saturday of each
month. The hours are from 8:30 until 11:30. We are putting together the
schedule for 2018, so please let us know if you are able to volunteer or be
a sub. If you have any questions, please contact Shirley Fox or Mary Lloyd.
Thank you!
Mark 6:37 But Jesus said, “You feed them.”

Summer Worship News
Summer is here. This summer we will have simple, reflective services with
lots of singing, and eating and drinking together. The liturgy setting will
be, "God Give Us Life". With lovely melodies, this liturgy proclaims the joy
and new life in Christ. We encourage you to look closely at the liturgy text
while you worship. The 3rd Sunday of each month will be a Fellowship Sunday
which means that we will meet in the FELLOWSHIP HALL for the service.
Fellowship Sunday worship will be interactive service which includes hymn
requests, conversational sermon, and a potluck lunch afterwards. Worship
nurtures our faith and is essential for our Christian life. We hope to see
you on Sunday morning at 9:30am.
