The activities planned around “God’s work. Our hands.” Sunday (September 8, 2024) is an opportunity to celebrate who we are as the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America — one church, freed in Christ to serve and love our neighbor.
“God’s Work. Our Hands.” Sunday | September 8, 2024
One Service at 10 AM – A quick grab and go lunch provided before heading out to serve.
We are planning some great events for “God’s Work. Our Hands.” Sunday, on September 8th. There will be events at Good Shepherd, but we are also planning events that will take us out into the community to serve. People can choose to go to:
The Oaks Assisted Living on Towne Lake Parkway to make cards with the residents
Visit at members’ houses that cannot attend regularly and chat and sing hymns with them.
Go to Hobgood Park to help clean up the park, paint the trash cans and small landscaping projects. The young children can be under a pavilion with supervision at tables and paint rocks that can be put out to decorate the park.
Help out at Mostly Mutts to help move summer items out of the shopping area and move fall items in from 12-3PM. Space is limited to 15.
Sign up sheets for these events are posted in the Fellowship Hall at Sign-up Central.
We would love to have our members wear one of these “God’s work. Our Hands.” t-shirts. They will be customized with Good Shepherd on the back. Orders need to be complete by August 11th. Please fill out the simple order form for each person, using the button below and submit a check, (made out to GSLC with T-shirt in the memo line), in the offering plate or into the gold slot near the Bookkeeper’s office in the Administration Hallway for the designated amount. (Shipping/Customization and taxes are included in the prices.) We are only taking orders online, so see a member of our staff if you need help completing the form.
Join with Good Shepherd during the entire month of September in these various ways.
The month of September
Take the month of September to consider a way to use your hands for an organization or an initiative that is close to your heart. Some of the groups at Good Shepherd already have programs in place. Check these out:
Caring for Creation-Contact a company and ask them to suggest changes to help our environment. Read more here.
Lutheran Coalition Habitat for Humanity – Ask how to be a chef to support our latest fundraiser to help us raise money to build a new home in 2025. Make a check out to the Lutheran Coalition for Habitat and place in the church offering or drop off to our Bookkeeper. Read more about this group and their efforts here.
Yarn Angels-Learn to knit or crochet and donate to “The Encouragement Project” – Bring your finished items to the church and we will get them into the hands that need them most. Read more here.
