Good Shepherd Weekly 10/11
Crawl to the Cross
Crawl to the Cross II is coming up – another Fellowship opportunity planned around driving radio controlled trucks on the church’s property. The date is Sunday, October 30 after worship and it is hosted by the stewardship committee. Lunch will be provided, but we ask you to sign up to let us know you are coming. There will be 6 different trails with trucks set up to give you different driving experiences. Wear sturdy shoes to walk in the woods, you will be 4x4 off-roading to explore places on the property you never knew existed. And being close to Halloween there might be some mini scares along the trails!
Come and try something different with your fellow members! Reinhard has more info. Rain date is Nov. 6.
Fall Clean Up Date
The date for this year’s fall clean up is Sunday, November 6. Plan to stick around after church on Nov. 6 to rake leaves and prep the grounds for winter. More information will be forth coming.
After Service Fellowship
We'll be bringing back after church fellowship starting Sunday, October 2. We will hold fellowship roughly every other week. Consider helping provide refreshments for fellowship time--a sign up for providing refreshments can be found on the church bulletin board in the lobby.

The Light in The Darkness is a Bible class on how God promised to preserve his Gospel and how he has preserved it for us today. This study not only teaches doctrine concerning God’s Word, but also covers the history of how the Old Testament and New Testament has come to us through surviving manuscripts.
Upcoming Sunday
We call worship a "service.” Which raises the question: who is serving whom? In answering that question, it is easy to focus on what we do in worship. “I set aside time in my week to come to church. I am singing praise to God. I brought him an offering. Clearly, I am serving him.” True enough. However, as God speaks this week, he clarifies our focus, letting us see that worship is primarily about him serving us. Through Word and sacrament, he delivers every spiritual gift he wants us to receive. Our service to God is good. His service for us is perfect. Our service to God is important. His service for us is essential. God loves our service to him. But we desperately need his service for us. Receiving his service is actually the highest form of worship.
