The LYF will be filling the plastic eggs for the annual Sunday School Easter Egg hunt. They are asking the congregation for donations of rolls of nickels/dimes, small prizes, or bags of individually wrapped candy to fill the eggs. Your donations can be placed in the container provided in the youth room or they can be dropped off in the church office. Thanks for your help with this project!

If you would be interested in teaching a Sunday School class or would like to be on our substitute list, please contact Denise G. We would love to get more people involved in our Christian Education program.
Good Shepherd would like to start a morning men’s bible study that would meet one morning a week around 6:30 am (before work) at a breakfast location in Joplin. If you would be interested in participating in this bible study, please contact the church office, 358-1325, or Greg G.
The Christmas story is always beautiful, but when told through the voices and faces of our children, it becomes even more special. Be sure to attend this year’s program entitled, A Gift From Heaven Above, presented on Sunday evening, December 18, at 7:00 pm. This year the Sunday School children took part in writing some of the lines in the script for the program explaining what Christmas means to them! Please, come and enjoy the story of Jesus’ birth and listen for the lines written by the children. There will be refreshments following the program.
