Mark your calendar for Sunday, September 11.  Plan to attend and help out at Good Shepherd’s 7th annual Welcome Friends and Neighbors picnic to be held from 5:00-6:30 pm in the congregation’s backyard.  There will be good food (with an emphasis on local food), live music by local musicians, including the Good Shepherd Band, games for kids and a marshmallow roast – a time for fun, food and conversation.  Invite your friends and neighbors as the picnic is free and open to all!
 

Sunday School will kick off for the 2016-17 school year with Rally Sunday on September 11th.  Sunday School classes will begin at 10:45 am after the worship service.  All children are welcome to join us!
