† IN OUR PRAYERS Jim B., undergoing treatment for pancreatic cancer; Ruth B., diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, placed on Hospice; Maggie C., recovering from COVID; Stephen Ministry and their care receivers.
† I AM A CHURCH MEMBER The Board of Elders recently finished working through the book, “I Am A Church Member”. We found it to be a helpful resource for one who wants to grow and mature in their view of themselves as a church member. We did not make use of the “pledge” at the end of each chapter. Use your own discretion there. We are making the book available to whoever wants to read it. The stack is on the table outside the nursery.
† FELLOWSHIP BINGO Thanks to the Fellowship Committee for putting together BINGO last Sunday! It was a well attended and everyone had an enjoyable time.
† HELPING WITH SCHOOL SUPPLIES For the next couple Sundays Good Shepherd will be collecting disinfectant wipes and tissues for Martin Luther School in Joplin to help with offsetting the cost of school supplies. There is a collection box in the narthex.
† RALLY DAY-WE ARE THE CHURCH Sunday School and LWML will be joining forces for Rally Day 2022. It will be held on Sunday, September 11 and will include Rally Day activities, an Italian lunch, and a dessert auction. We would love for this event to be for everyone in the church, so please come and join our celebration!
† RECRUITING SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS We are in need of some more Sunday School teachers for the new Sunday School year. Next Sunday, August 28, immediately following the service, there will be a Sunday School teachers’ meeting. If you are interested in helping out with Sunday School in any way, please join us for the meeting! Snacks will be provided.
† JR CONFIRMATION class will begin after Labor Day. It will start with a parent meeting on September 7, at 6:30 pm in the Conference Room.
