† LOVE OFFERING At the Easter Breakfast the LWML will not be asking for a free will offering, but we will be taking up a love offering which will go to Gretchen and Ethan N. to help with their mission trip to Mexico.
† EASTER LILIES If you would like to purchase one or more lilies to help adorn our sanctuary on Easter, please use the sign up sheet in the narthex. The cost is $8.00 each. Or if you would like to help with the Easter flower decorations, but not purchase a lily, you can make a monetary contribution toward that instead. Please pay Diana Endicott.
† THE LWML SPRING RALLY will be held Sunday, May 4, in Aurora, MO. If you would like to go as a member or a guest, please contact Jennifer S. to RSVP and for carpooling information. We’d love to have a large group attend from Good Shepherd.
† LWML is collecting baby items as an in-gathering for the Spring Zone Rally on May 4. Donated items will be taken to the Rally in Aurora and then be given to the Pregnancy Resource Center. A basket is in the narthex if you’d like to help. Thank you!
† NEW BIBLE STUDY GROUP Starting April 23, on Wednesday mornings at 10:30, there will be a Bible study group focused on the issues that go along with getting older. Earl Kirn will be leading this study and encourages anyone interested in this topic to come and join the group. There is a sign up sheet in the narthex on the round table.
† ATTENTION ALL GRADUATES If you are graduating from high school, college, tech school, etc. we want to hear about it. Please get a picture with a bio to the church office by April 24. We want to publish your accomplishments and future plans in the May issue of the Shepherd’s Staff. Parents, we may need your help with this, we don’t want to leave anyone out, but if we don’t have the information we can’t print it. Thanks.
FOOD DRIVE FOR BRIGHT FUTURES ends next Sunday! There is a list of items needed hanging on the Christian Education bulletin board in the narthex. If you haven’t had a chance to help out and would like to, bring your items next Sunday and place them in the container provided in the narthex. If you have questions contact Nicole B. Thanks for your help!
