A new group of single, senior ladies is forming at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church.  Come join them for some fellowship, fun and snacks one Sunday afternoon a month at the church.  Watch the bulletin announcements for the date of the next get together.  For questions or more information please contact Ann L.

Easter Egg Hunt

The LYF will be filling the plastic eggs for the annual Sunday School Easter Egg hunt.  They are asking the congregation for donations of rolls of nickels/dimes, small prizes, or bags of individually wrapped candy to fill the eggs.  Your donations can be placed in the container provided in the youth room or they can be dropped off in the church office.  Thanks for your help with this project!
