† MEAL DELIVERY  Good Shepherd’s week to deliver meals for the Over-60 Center is this week, June 10 – 14.  If you can help with this worthwhile  project, please contact Betty E.

† SUNDAY SCHOOL NURSERY  The Christian Education Committee would like to try to offer a nursery option for parents wanting to attend Bible Class starting in June.  Regular Sunday School classes begin at age 3 and there are teachers for those classes.  For children under 3 years old we would like to offer a place for supervised play, snack, and a very short   simple age appropriate Jesus message.  All materials and snacks will be provided in the nursery classroom.  There is a sign up sheet located by the door of the nursery room for people wanting to help out in this classroom.  You can also call the church office, 358-1325,  if you are willing to sign up.

† NURSERY/CRY ROOM  Should your child become distressed or distract others during the service, a furnished nursery/cry room is located in the narthex for your use.  Please ask one of the ushers if you need directions.

† PRAYER BEARS are in the sanctuary pews and available to be signed out (notebook in narthex by nursery) and given to anyone that needs God’s love, comfort, and peace.

† BLOOD PRESSURE CHECKS are available in the nurse’s office after the  service.  You will be given a small form that can be carried in your wallet which will include medical information and a log of your blood pressure readings.
