Announcements — February 11, 2024

† IN OUR PRAYERS  Cory H., recovering from an appendectomy; Ruby S., recovering from knee replacement surgery; Cindy E., continuing her recovery at home; Jim B., undergoing treatment for pancreatic cancer; Stephen Ministry and their care receivers.

† NEW MEMBER WELCOME  Good Shepherd is welcoming some new families to our congregation this morning, Rick Harms, Jeremy, Kelli, Olivia, Ezra, & Ariella S., and Ron & Beth T..  It is great to have them join our church family.

† LENT starts this Wednesday, February 14, with our Ash Wednesday services. We will once again have weekday services each Wednesday at 11:00 am and 7:00 pm throughout Lent. Be sure and utilize these services as part of your Lenten observance.

† LENT DEVOTIONAL BOOKS  We have devotional books to share with the congregation this Lent season.  “Be Gracious to Me” devotionals books are available in the Narthex on the information table next to Portals of Prayer.  Please only take one copy per family.

† MEAL TRAIN  Cory H. has had several setbacks in his recovery from an appendectomy requiring hospitalization again this last week. Due to allergy concerns we are forgoing a meal train and starting a gift card collection for them instead. Gift cards to gas stations, Natural Grocers in Joplin, or Walmart would all be helpful for their family at this time. If you would like to help you can give these to Megan or Pastor to get to them or mail/email them.
