Christian Life

Do you enjoy seeing a potter throw clay on a wheel and then watch as the potter’s hands transform a pile of mud into something useful?  If the answer is yes, then you need to join us at the annual LWML event,  Ladies Night Out.  This year’s theme, is based on Isaiah 64:8.  …We are the clay, you are the potter, we are all the work of your hand.   Our guest potter, Christina Lorenzen, from Made of Clay Pottery, will share her skills in a demonstration.
Date: Tuesday, Oct. 6. Time: 6:00 pm. Where: Royal Delights Café & Bakery (Precious Moments).  The cost of the meal, including gratuity, is $10.00.  Please RSVP by using the sign-up sheet in the narthex or by calling Mary P., , or Judy G.,, by Sunday evening, Oct. 4

Karen L. and Judy G. have started a new project on behalf of Good Shepherd.  They are sewing fabric hearts for Freeman NICU.  The heart is worn against the mother’s skin so that the fabric might absorb the scent of the mother.  The heart is then placed with    the baby in the isolette so the mother is always with her child.    They would like to thank everyone who has donated  flannel for this project.  The congregation was so generous. They have enough fabric to last for quite awhile.  When the time comes that they are in need of more, they will let you know.  Thanks again for your generosity and also for your quick response!

If you are looking for a fun weekend of camping and fishing, then please join us the weekend of Oct. 23-25, for the annual guys fall fishing retreat and campout.

Men and boys of all ages are welcome — and bring your friends! Contact Dale with any questions. Watch for the sign up sheet in the narthex. Hope to see you there
