February 1 Service

Love. Grow. Serve.

LOVE. GROW. SERVE. Building up God's people through His word for His world.

At Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, we share Jesus’ love by serving our neighbors; grow in our faith through Bible study, worship, and prayer; and build up one another through connections we make at gatherings, small group meetings, and other events.


Chili Bingo

Good Shepherd's Annual Chili Bingo is coming up!  Join us on Sunday, March 1, at 12:30 p.m., following the 11:00 a.m. service for food, fun, and fellowship! Bring chili, cornbread, salad, or dessert and/or help with set up or clean up.  You don't have to enter your chili in the contest, but why wouldn't you? It's your shot at being crowned the Chili King or Chili Queen— or at least a runner up! If you want to enter the contest, bring a large batch of chili (to serve 12 or more) for judging and eating. After lunch, we move on to BINGO with lots of prizes to win! Questions? Contact Heidi Cooper.
