This Sunday, June 29, at Good Shepherd: Jesus calls us to follow and to proclaim the kingdom of God, even though following is always difficult and proclaiming takes practice. Join us for worship at 9 AM as we welcome a new sibling in Christ, and hear God's love for all proclaimed in shared Meal and living Word. We also welcome some surprise musical guests this week. Come to worship! And be fed to follow. All are welcome. #elca

Project Storybook - "I am thankful for the opportunity to help bring The Storybook Project to the Danville prison. Participants in the program show their appreciation to our volunteer group each and every time they participate. It is heartwarming to witness these parents as they communicate back to their children and share a storybook and in most cases an audio of them reading the book. Sometimes it’s even a favorite book from their own childhood! How wonderful to witness! I have to admit that sometimes we get a little choked up!" #champaignurbana #savoyillinois #elca
