Have you experienced the joy of finding something you thought lost forever? This week we hear gospel stories of loss and finding - and reflect on our own experiences of being lost and found. Come worship at Good Shepherd - Sunday, September 14 - at 9 AM. Come to rejoice in all of the good things of being found. All are welcome - all the time. #elca #champaignurbana #savoyillinois

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?

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

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

ELCA Good Gifts are a creative, meaningful way to support the ministries of the ELCA that mean the most to you and your loved ones. Your gift can be directed to any one of a number of options, including the ELCA Fund for Leaders, ELCA World Hunger, Disability Ministries and Lutheran Disaster Response. Each of these programs is a long-term, partnership-based ministry that focus on the needs identified by local congregations and global companion churches and their communities. And – bonus – because these are long-standing partnerships, administration costs are low.

All are welcome - at worship, at the mural-building, or at both! #elca #champaignurbana #savoyillinois
