All Scheduled Events One

Just a reminder- all events at Good Shepherd are on as scheduled. If in doubt, check this blog as it will post updates. Let's hope for good weather the rest of the winter.

Thursday, February 11 Worship is Canceled

Friends,

We are going to go ahead and cancel the Thursday evening worship service this week (2/11) just to be proactive and safe- thus letting clearning crews in the region to keep working on the roads.

We hope all keep safe.



Please know that our church staff will continue to monitor email and phones and conduct business the best we are able during this winter weather. Pastors and program staff will be actively calling and working on many plans for Lent.

If you have any needs, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me.

Monday Feb 8 Church Service is Canceled

Friends, we are going to cancel the Monday 2/8 evening church service (scheduled for 7pm) as a safety precaution.

The roads are still pretty bad (including 355 in front of the church). With the freezing anticipated after sundown, I would prefer to see us stay put in the safety of our homes and gather next sunday (or Thursday evening)

Re: Next Sunday 2/14 Worship Service- we will be celebrating it as "Souper Bowl" Sunday still in honor of our church's committment to feed the poor and hungry in our community (and the wider world). Tables will remain up in the lobby to collect food.

ALSO- Note that next week begins Lent. See the web site www.goodshepherdonline.org this week for more details on:

TUESDAY, 2/16 Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper and Kids Carnival

WED, 2/17 Ash Wednesday Services (645 kids service, 730 Service for all ages)

Pastor Dave

Sunday 2/7 Worship Off; Monday 2/8 Worship On!

From Pastor Dave (Saturday, 2/6 at 11:30am)

Hope you are enjoying the beauty of the snow. Perhaps we can think of it as God pouring out an abundance of blessing upon us! If that is the case, we are really being blessed! Stay safe. Shovel often.

Tommorow church, 2/7 will unfortunately need to be canceled. . . . however, we have scheduled a church service for Monday evening, 2/8 at 7pm in the sanctuary!


Please take the time to read the Shepherds Link Newsletter on our web site. www.goodshepherdonline.org
