We will NOT be reopening Good Shepherd for in-person worship services as we had so hoped.
In an abundance of love and concern, it is the consensus of our Congregation Council that we cannot provide the necessary safety measures to accomplish that at this time. The Council has appointed a COVID-19 Response Task Force to work through the very detailed guidance for reopening provided by our synod and by the CDC. We are not setting another target date for reopening at this time, as many things still change from day to day. We will be communicating with you regularly, so please stay alert for those messages. Many new details can be found under our Covid-19 tab at the top of the page. We will also continue to post Sunday worship services for you on our website.

WORSHIP SERVICES
Due to social distancing restrictions, caused by the Covid-19 virus, Worship Services are being pre-recorded and available online through a worship video on the designated day. You can find all our worship services with service bulletins here.
HOLY COMMUNION
In-person Holy Communion will be offered Sunday mornings, from 8:30 am-10:00 am and from 10:45 am-12:15 pm. It would be helpful for managing participation, if you would come during the time you would typically attend worship services, if we were open. If you cannot make that time, you are certainly welcome to come at the other designated time. Read more of the specific details here.
We are looking for volunteers to help set-up/clean-up and serve. Those shifts run 8:00 am – 10:15 am and 10:15 am – 12:30 pm. We would like to have two people for each shift. You will be required to wear a mask. There is a sign-up sheet here. www.gslutheran.org/sig-up-central-online.
We have a new e-mail address for you to submit prayer concerns. Prayers will be posted to the Prayer Circle, via e-mail, during normal business hours. You can also drop us and e-mail at this same e-mail address if you would like to be a part of the Prayer Circle.
