This joyful worship service is a time for the whole church to worship God, celebrate our unity in Christ, and pray for our synod and Bishop Herr as we begin our ministry together. ELCA Presiding Bishop Yehiel Curry will preach and preside. All are welcome to attend as we share in fellowship and celebration. A reception will follow the service.

What does it mean to be political as people of faith? Join Kris Albert in the Good Shepherd Classroom for the first of this two-part discussion exploring how Lutheran theology connects faith, justice, and public life.

We again meet in the Good Shepherd Classroom for this second part of our two-part discussion. Pastor Henry Herbener will further share what it means to be political as people of faith and how Lutheran theology connects faith, justice, and public life.

Join the Senior Shepherds this November in All Saints Hall as we welcome Pastor Scott Paradise. The meeting will take place not long before Thanksgiving. With that theme in mind, Pastor Scott will remind us how we too are pilgrims, shaped by gratitude to be learners, travelers, and seekers of hope.

Starting around the middle of October, you can reserve a Thanksgiving Turkey Box. This box includes everything you need to make a Thanksgiving meal at home. Each box includes a turkey (or turkey tenderloin), 5 pounds of potatoes, cans of green beans and yams, a box of stuffing, and more. Look for more details soon.

Prepare again for the holidays as we enjoy festivities together.
