Journey with us this Lent. This Sunday, February 22, at Good Shepherd, our texts take us out into the wilderness where we see Jesus' encounter with the Tempter. What does this story of temptation and resistance have to say to us, especially when we are faced with evil in our own lives. Join us for worship, for Holy Communion, for prayer and song as we gather this week at 9 AM. Our services are also live-streamed online if you are curious or can't make it in person. #elca #Lent2026 #champaignurbana #savoyillinois
Today is Ash Wednesday. We start the season of Lent with a physical reminder of both our mortality and our identity as children of God. Join us for worship at 7 PM tonight. If you can't make worship this evening, you are welcome to come to the front of the building between 12 and 1 for prayer and imposition of ashes in your vehicle. #elca #ashwednesday #champaignurbana #savoyillinois
Peacemaking God, the nations are in turmoil. We pray for an end to violent conflict in our own streets and cities and around the world. Give wisdom to negotiators and sanctuary to refugees. Defend any who are in danger. Merciful God, receive our prayer. #elca #SavoyIL #champaignurbana
