We would like to get as many people as possible pictured in our new directory and also get updated information.

† REFORMATION 500 In celebration of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, our circuit will be holding a special Reformation service tonight at 7:00 pm at Immanuel Lutheran Church, Lockwood. This service is open to all of the people in our circuit (and frankly, anyone at all who wants to come). Many of the pastors of our circuit will be involved in the service and there are plans to involve all of the different congregation’s choirs that wish to participate as well. This service will be a splendid opportunity for us to celebrate the Reformation with the fellow Lutherans in our circuit.
† LWML FALL RALLY Have you ever been to an LWML Rally? Do you even know what an LWML Rally really is? Come find out as our own LWML hosts the Fall Rally here at Good Shepherd on Saturday, Nov. 4. All women (and men) are invited. Registration with coffee and rolls begins at 9:30 am and the Rally starts at 10:00 am. There will be a portrayal of Katie Luther, a lesson on addiction and a delicious lunch will be provided. We hope you will come and enjoy this wonderful day of fellowship.
† 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.
† 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.
† 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.
† ASSISTIVE LISTENING If you are having difficulty hearing the service, assistive listening devices are available from the ushers. They work like a transistor radio and you can control the volume.
