Happy Parents Day to all who parent with love and joy! Whether your child(ren) are near or far, children of your body or your heart, married in or adopted, thank you for being a caring, nurturing presence in their lives. Children of any age: Take a moment today and give thanks for the people in your life who have helped you grow and kept you safe along the way! Pictured are a few parents (and their children!) from Good Shepherd's congregation. Wish we could have included everyone! #champaignurbana #savoyillinois #elca

The disciples ask Jesus to teach them how to pray. In many ways, we're still asking the same question. How should we pray? Why should we pray? What should we be praying for? Join us for worship this Sunday, July 27, as we praise our God, explore these questions, and, of course, spend time in prayer. Worship begins at 9 AM. All are welcome - all the time. #elca #champaignurbana #savoyillinois
A special summer worship experience awaits! Join us indoors (in the AC!) on Sunday, August 3, for guitar-led worship with favorite hymns, activities for children, food and coffee, and conversation and communion around tables in the Fellowship Hall. Normal worship time - 9-10 AM - but a different end of the building! (We had planned to have worship outdoors on the 3rd, but with the current weather pattern, we're keeping it relaxed and casual, but moving indoors!) As always, all are welcome! #elca #champaignurbana #savoyillinois
The Cancer Support Group meets on the fourth Thursday of each month from 6-7 pm in the Small Group Room. All are welcome! It is a safe, supportive place where people can talk about their cancer, cry if they need to, share ideas and information about treatment, local resources, etc. and we share a prayer or devotion at the end of the hour.
Mostly, it is what it says it is - a support group. We've got two moms with young children and an octogenarian so you see the range of ages and needs. Some attendees are members of the congregation and some are women who have been brought and supported by members of the congregation. We don't ask about religious affiliation - it doesn't matter!
The group is for anyone dealing with cancer in any way - a personal diagnosis, in treatment, in remissions, supporting a loved one or friend through cancer. We have 4-5 people attending each month; there is no obligation, you just come when you can or when you need to be there. #champaignurbana #savoyillinois #elca
We picked corn again this morning to give to our friends and neighbors! Thank you to Pastor, Bob, Katrina, David, Sophia, Dean and Becky who picked sweet corn early this morning! Bob has been giving it away in our front parking lot! Have a great weekend!
We picked more sweet corn this morning! It's out in the front parking lot of church, come and get it now while supplies last! #champaignurbana #savoyillinois #elca
Join us for conversation about faith, life, and the intersection of it all. Table Talk Pub Theology returns this coming Sunday, July 20th at Triptych Brewing, Savoy. We gather at 6 PM. All are welcome. #elca #champaignurbana #savoyillinois #pubtheology
This Sunday at GSLC: In our Gospel text, Jesus visits a friend's house and is welcomed by two sisters, one of whom chooses "the better thing". Come and hear this story retold in an original skit as we explore what it means to follow Jesus and to be people of welcome. Worship begins at 9 AM and is also available on our website and YouTube channel. All are welcome, always - in the name of Jesus. #elca #champaignurbana #savoyillinois
