ADVENT<\/strong> starts next Sunday and marks again the beginning of a new church year.\u00a0 Advent traditionally has been a season of preparation for \u201cThe One Who is Coming\u201d, Jesus, who is coming at Christmas as the Christ child, and who is coming again as the judge of the world.\u00a0 We will have special midweek Advent services on Wednesdays at 7:00 pm up to the week of Christmas.\u00a0 Be sure to make these special services a part of your Christmas preparation and celebration.\u00a0<\/p>\n

FUNDRAISER, DECEMBER 5\u00a0<\/strong> A benefit chili\/soup supper for the Heather Danner Ulrich family will be held here at Good Shepherd, Saturday, Dec. 5th, from 3:00-7:00 pm.\u00a0 Heather will have to remain here in the states until May for chemo and radiation treatments.\u00a0 The benefit proceeds will help with the costs of flying her family home to the States to be with her for Christmas and with other major expenses.\u00a0 We are very excited about and thankful to the Breast Cancer Foundation of the Ozarks for their wonderful donation to help pay for Heather\u2019s two son\u2019s transportation costs.\u00a0 We will need everyone’s help to make this a successful community event and would like your help in selling advance tickets.\u00a0 Tickets are $5.00 each, children five and under eat free.\u00a0 Please see Brenda K., Melody S., or Corinne W. to get tickets.\u00a0 Items are also being collected for a silent auction to be held that day.\u00a0 We are pleased to have Thrivent match a third of the proceeds of the fundraiser.<\/p>\n

THE CHILDREN\u2019S CHRISTMAS PROGRAM<\/strong> will be included with the 10:45 morning worship service Sunday, December 20th.\u00a0 All Sunday School aged students are encouraged to be a part of this wonderful program where the children tell the beautiful story of Jesus\u2019 birth in a way only they can.\u00a0 Practices will begin on Sunday, November 29th, during the Sunday School hour.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

QUILTING LADIES DISBAND<\/strong>\u00a0 It is with much sadness that the ladies of the Tuesday morning quilting group have decided to no longer meet.\u00a0 They do want to offer to the ladies of the congregation an opportunity to check out and take any of the fabric and thread they have left over.\u00a0 It is all located in the quilters room off the old fellowship hall.\u00a0 What is not taken will be donated.\u00a0 They also want to thank everyone who, over the years, has given material, supplies, and helped them in their cause in general.<\/p>\n

POINSETTIAS FOR CHRISTMAS<\/strong>\u00a0 Hard to believe, but it is that time again to place our order for the poinsettias that help beautify our church at Christmas.\u00a0 The cost will be $5.00 each, and as always, you are welcome to take the plants home with you after Christmas.\u00a0 Use the sign up sheet in the narthex, and please make payment to Betty K.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

JOY COMES IN PAIRS\u00a0<\/strong> In light of the necessities of life, walking barefoot may seem minor, but for millions of children around the world their bare feet are subjected to infections that can lead to crippling consequences, disease and even death.\u00a0 The Sunday School offerings, now through to the end of the year, will go to help purchase and send pairs of clog type, all-terrain shoes to children in need worldwide.\u00a0 This project is a division of Life Outreach International.<\/p>\n

BLOOD PRESSURE<\/strong>\u00a0 The opportunity to have your blood pressure taken and recorded after each service is still available.\u00a0 We have moved the site to the nurse\u2019s office located off the narthex.\u00a0 You will be given a card to carry with you to record your readings.<\/p>\n

ASSISTIVE LISTENING\u00a0<\/strong> If you are having a hard time hearing the service, assistive listening devices are available from the ushers.\u00a0 They work like a transistor radio and you can control the volume.<\/p>\n

TAPES OF THE SERVICE<\/strong>\u00a0 Audio tapes of the service are available after the 8:15 am service each Sunday.\u00a0 They are located in the glassed-door cabinet in the narthex.\u00a0 Tapes of the previous Sunday are also available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
