Donald Block - How long have you been a part of Good Shepherd? 40 years.

Finish the sentence: Discipleship is……. Or Following Jesus means……
Sharing Jesus's love with others

What are you passionate about? How did you discover that passion?
Passionate about helping others. Sharing what talents I have with others all the while knowing that Jesus loves us all.

You were recommended by Bob Clark of GSLC. Does that surprise you? What should people know about the community service work/work that you do?
Somewhat surprised. Helping out in the community is not hard just need to take that 1st step whether it be helping out after a hurricane or delivering furniture.

What is one thing you’re deeply grateful for right now?
Family, health and God's love. I know more than one thing but it's hard to limit to one.

What about your work (volunteer or paid) is the most fulfilling to you?
Seeing people smile and appreciate us being there.

Why are you a part of this congregation?
Because our church family has been with us through the good times and the bad.

What is a favorite memory you have here at GSLC? Playing Goliath in a Sunday school play

Who do you think we should know more about here at Good Shepherd?
Julia our Music Director.

We had a wonderful service this morning followed by “Rally Day” to kick off the Sunday School year where food, fellowship and good conversation were in full swing. Everyone was encouraged to be a part of working on our Bottle Cap mural which is coming together! A big thank you goes to Greg Fisher for helping lead our group in screwing our bottle caps into the mural. #elca #champaignurbana

This Sunday, September 7, at Good Shepherd: Join us for worship at 9 AM, followed by the kick-off of the Sunday School year at 10:15. We'll be making a bottle-cap mural, exploring our Bible theme for the year, and having fun together. During worship, we'll share communion, hear an amazing story from Paul's life, and raise our voices in song. All are welcome - at worship, at the mural-building, or at both! #elca #champaignurbana #savoyillinois
