Room! All women are welcome! The present topic for
this summer is RELATIONSHIPS. The sessions use
families in scripture to show and illustrate how
relationships form us, (June) sustain us and (July) push
us. (Aug.) #champaignurbana #savoyillinois #elca
Popsicles and Pushups! This Sunday, July 13, after worship (around 10 AM), Lucas B. will be raising money for C-U at Home by selling popsicles and doing pushups. Popsicles are $3 and for each popsicle sold (or $3 donated), Lucas will do 5 push-ups! Lucas's goal is $400, which would be 665 push-ups! Can he do it? Support him on Sunday to find out!
This Sunday, July 13, at GSLC: Jesus asks the question, "Who was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?" and we are invited to wrestle with the question of how to love our neighbors, especially the most vulnerable. Worship begins at 9 AM and will also be livestreamed on our website and YouTube channel. Following worship, one of our youth will be raising money for C-U at Home. As always, worship includes activities for children, Holy Communion, and lots of music. All are welcome. #elca #champaignurbana #savoyillinois
Fill Big Red 2.0 was a huge success! Our goal was to collect 5,000 diapers and we surpassed that and we collected nearly 7,000 diapers for families in need! Thank you! #champaignurbana #savoyillinois #elca
You call us to work for the good of all. Give resolve to those who lead, that they do not grow weary in doing what is right. Guide them to seek peace between nations and freedom for all people. God of grace, hear our prayer. #champaignurbana #savoyillinois #elca
As we celebrate Independence Day we pray that our nation continues to strive for freedom, justice, and equality for all. #champaignurbana #savoyillinois #elca

In the gospel reading this week, Jesus sends out seventy disciples to spread the word of salvation. Come to worship to hear the story; gather at the feet of Jesus; and then be sent out as an emissary for Christ in your daily life. Worship begins at 9 AM and includes Holy Communion, activities for kids, and lots of joyful music. If you're traveling or just curious to know more about Good Shepherd, check us out online! Worship is live-streamed on our YouTube channel and website and the recordings are also available to view later. #elca #champaignurbana #savoyillinois
“Protect this world, O God. Watch over fields and fruit trees, foxes and birds, the pleasant land beneath us and the sun and moon above. Keep us mindful of the rich inheritance you have given us in the natural world. God of grace, hear our prayer.”
