The men\u2019s team will play Tuesday evening at 7:30.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE ELDERS<\/strong> will meet this Monday evening at 7:00.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CROSSLINES WORKDAY<\/strong> is this Friday, beginning at 8:00 am.<\/p>\n<p><strong>GSLC YOUTH<\/strong> Sunday, August 19, at 6:30 pm all youth of high school age, and at least one parent, are asked to attend a meeting to set up plans for the coming school year and next summer\u2019s national youth gathering in Texas. The meeting will take place in the Fellowship Hall.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FOOD CAMPAIGN FOR CROSSLINES<\/strong> The pantry at Crosslines is getting bare. The August Newsletter has a list of food needed. Please give what you can. They are not in need of clothing or canned vegetables. August donation goal for Good Shepherd is 250 items. We thank you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SHOES FOR AFRICA MISSION PROJECT<\/strong> There are thousands of men, women and children in Africa that don\u2019t own even one pair of shoes. The Lutheran Women\u2019s Missionary League is collecting used shoes through the month of August that will be sent to Africa. Help by bringing shoes you no longer wear or want and place them in the \u201cbig shoe box\u201d in the narthex. All sizes and styles are needed. Tying shoe strings together, or putting a rubber band around individual pairs, would be a big help. Thanks!<\/p>\n<p><strong>A REMINDER<\/strong> The fellowship we enjoy through visiting before our worship service begins is certainly very important and welcomed. Please remember when the organist begins playing and the candles are lit, our service has actually begun and you are encouraged to begin to quiet. This quiet time is a wonderful opportunity for personal prayer and to prepare yourself for worship.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CD\u2019S AND TAPES OF THE SERVICE<\/strong> Audio tapes and CD\u2019s of the service are available after the service each Sunday. They are located in the glassed-door cabinet in the narthex.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ASSISTIVE LISTENING<\/strong> If you are having a hard time hearing the service, assistive listening devices are available from the ushers. They work like a transistor radio and you can control the volume.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BLOOD PRESSURE CHECKS<\/strong> are available in the narthex 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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PRAYER BEARS<\/strong> are in the sanctuary pews and available to be signed out (notebook in narthex) and given to anyone that needs God\u2019s love, comfort, and peace. We have had reports and words of thanks from folks being blessed by this outreach ministry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IN OUR PRAYERS Jack H., undergoing treatment; Don H., Phil T., undergoing treatment for cancer; Margaret J., at St. Luke\u2019s, Carthage; Bonnie L., at Carthage Health and Rehab., recovering from a broken hip.
