Worship

“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit 20 and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” -Matt 28:19-20

PLEASE SIGN UP TO USHER! We are hoping to have everyone get a chance to usher during worship! If you haven't ushered at LCGS before, no worries! We will set you up with an usher that knows the ropes! Sign-up HERE

Congratulations Pastor Dave on your retirement!

You are invited to join us in celebrating Pastor Dave for his past 20 years of faithful service, spiritual guidance, compassion, and for sharing his profound knowledge of the Bible through his teaching, preaching, and his leadership. We also thank him for showing us how to live an authentic life through his personal example.

On Sunday, April 28, all are welcome to gather together for:

-        9:30 a.m. Worship

-        11:00 a.m. Catered meal in the Fellowship Hall

-        Followed by a Program to celebrate Pastor Dave

You may wish to share words of thanks to Pastor Dave. Written messages and cards may be mailed to the church office or placed in the Card Basket in the church office or in the Gathering Space. Extra cards will be available if needed.

Please keep cards and words of gratitude separate from gift contributions.

As a congregation, we plan to purchase a special gift for Pastor Dave. Monetary contributions toward the gift may be made most easily by using the enclosed self-addressed envelope. You may mail it in, deliver it to the church office, or place it in the box labeled “For Pastor Dave” in the Gathering Space.

If you plan to write a check for your contribution, please make checks payable to Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd (LCGS) and be sure to note “Pastor Dave’s Gift” in the memo line of your check so that your gift doesn’t accidentally get used for the church general fund. Any money collected beyond the price of the gift will be given directly to Pastor Dave.

Pastor Dave Mesner will soon retire and transition from the role of Lead Pastor of Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd to share his passion and deep knowledge of Scripture with the Benedictine Monastery of Duluth. We will miss him and wish him the very best in his new ministry.

We hope to see you on April 28 as well as each Sunday that you are available to join us in worship at LCGS! God’s Blessings to All!

Damiano Meal Prep/Serving opportunity! For many years, the LCGS congregation has supported the Community Kitchen at the Damiano Center through the Hunger Team mission focus. Although homelessness and hunger have long been issues in our area, recent challenges to social safety net services have made the needs more dire.

Our serving efforts are broken up into two sessions, a meal preparation session, when food is prepared for that evening's meal and other future meals, and a serving session, where meals are put on trays and served to community kitchen diners. Both sessions are necessary and meaningful. There is nothing keeping someone from working both shifts, if their schedule allows. There will be a break period between the shifts and usually a snack around.  servers must be 16years and older. Sign up by clicking on the date below.

Next dates are: April 21, May 19, June 16
