Tonight! Join us for Holden Evening Prayer - our midweek Lenten Service held every Wednesday during Lent at 6:30 PM. Remember your baptism, fill your heart with God's promises, light candles, pray, entwine your voice with others in beautiful song. Embrace 30 minutes of space apart with God. All are welcome. #elca #Lent2025 #champaignurbana #savoyillinois
This Sunday at Good Shepherd, we hear from Luke that we are like chicks that need protection, for a fox is nearby, that we are like chicks who need shelter from the cold winds that blow through our lives. Come to worship and join us in praising the God who gathers us as if under loving wings. Worship begins at 9 AM in the sanctuary and is also livestreamed on our website. Adult Forum and Dwelling Together follow worship at 10:15 AM. We will NOT have Sunday School for kids this week because of spring break. #elca #champaignurbana #savoyillinois
Our [Christian] faith is shaped by wilderness... and our faith is shaped by the wildernesses where we meet Jesus - because it is in the lonely places, the hard places, the painful places - where Jesus - the Jesus of the cross - shows up. Jesus shows up in our wilderness places - ready to meet our chaos with his clarity. Ready to remind us of our baptismal identity. Ready to help us endure whatever testing we face and to speak truth and calling and hope to us and into us. - Pastor Lynette Chapman in her sermon March 9, 2025.

Our Christian faith was born and shaped in desert places. What does that mean for us in the wildernesses we face today? Join us to ponder a desert-shaped faith as we worship God this Sunday for the First Sunday of Lent. Worship begins at 9 AM in our sanctuary and will also be live-streamed on our website and YouTube. #elca #lent2025 #champaignurbana #savoyillinois
