† IN OUR PRAYERS Jack H., on Hospice at St. Luke’s in Carthage; Stephen Ministry and their care receivers.
† MIDWEEK ADVENT SERVICES As in recent years, Good Shepherd will provide midweek worship services at 11:00 am and 7:00 pm each Wednesday during Advent. The first Advent service will be this Wednesday, December 2. Please join us!
† NEW SERVICE OPTIONS We are offering a ‘Service of the Word’ on the first and third Sunday’s of the month and a ‘Service of the Sacrament’ on the second and fourth Sundays. The next Service of the Word will be at 7:45 am on Sunday, December 6. A Service of the Word is essentially a regular Sunday service without communion. Because these are high precaution services we encourage everyone to wear masks and will have minimal singing as we have done with our current Wednesday morning services. A Service of the Sacrament will be a communion service that will be structurally similar to the one used for drive-up communion (confession and absolution, a short reading, a short message, etc.).
† CHRISTMAS PROGRAM Parts for the Christmas Program have been distributed. Recording will take place December 6 & 13 during the Sunday School hour. We are excited to be hosting a Christmas Program watch party on December 20, during the Sunday School hour in the Fellowship Hall. We are so glad to be able to give the kids an opportunity to observe the product of all their hard work! The program will also be available for viewing online through the usual formats for those who prefer viewing in that way.
† POINSETTIAS If you would like to purchase a poinsettia(s) to help adorn the sanctuary at Christmas, please use the sign-up sheet on the table in the narthex and prepay Diana Endicott. The cost is $8.00 each.
