SUBSCRIPTION RENEWAL The Lutheran Witness, it’s about your faith, your church, your world. The new subscription year begins in April. If you would like to receive or renew a subscription for 2012, please use the sign up sheet in the narthex. The cost is $15.00. You may put the amount in the offering plate marked Lutheran Witness, or mail a check to the church office.
LADIES’ NIGHT OUT DINNER Ladies and gents alike, next Sunday you won’t want to miss the always fun and entertaining evening, when the guys serve the girls a delicious, sometimes even called gourmet dinner. The evening begins at 5:00 when Terry Sanders, aka Barney Fife, will show up to entertain us. Please use the sign up sheet in the narthex so we know how many to prepare for. Also, don’t forget to bring a dessert to share for the much anticipated, and now infamous, dessert buffet.
DAYTIME MIDWEEK LENTEN SERVICE ADDED Lent starts Wednesday, Feb. 22, and this year we have added an additional midweek service during the daytime at 11:00 am. This will give those who do not drive at night, or who have evening obligations, an opportunity to attend the midweek services. Wednesday evening services will begin at 7:00 pm.
FLOWER CHART There are lots of empty spaces on the flower chart, so if you would like to place flowers at the altar for a special occasion or in memory of someone, please sign the chart hanging on the wall next to the water fountain in the hallway. Simply write your name, phone number, and occasion with the pen provided.
THRIVENT The SW Missouri Chapter of Thrivent meeting will be at 6:30 p.m., Feb. 14, at First Lutheran, Neosho. They will plan for this year’s Chapter activities. If you would like to attend for Good Shepherd, please let Pastor know.
SAM’S CLUB As a member of Good Shepherd you can receive up to a $25 Sam’s Club Gift Card if you sign up or renew an existing Plus Membership or a $10 gift card if you join or renew your Advantage Membership. Certificates are available on the credenza in the narthex.

PRAYER BEARS are in the sanctuary pews and available to be signed out (notebook in narthex) and given to anyone that needs God’s love, comfort, and peace. We have had reports and words of thanks from folks being blessed by this outreach ministry.
CD’S AND TAPES OF THE SERVICE Audio tapes and CD’s of the service are available after the 8:15 am service each Sunday. They are located in the glassed-door cabinet in the narthex.
ASSISTIVE LISTENING If you are having a hard time hearing the service, assistive listening devices are available from the ushers. They work like a transistor radio and you can control the volume.
BLOOD PRESSURE CHECKS are available in the narthex after each 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.
