Good Shepherd Lutheran Church

Yes. We had services as scheduled for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. No cancellations. No rescheduling. What we DID have was a dedicated custodian in Wes Olson to clean off the sidewalk and parts of the lot. We also had a dedicated and efficient Bob Mathews (or one of his peeps) take care of the parking lot.

We also had the good Lord keeping people safe...even giving some members an opportunity to help push/pull others out of a ditch on the way. Way to go, Acts of Service!!!

We had Deacons who showed up...early, as usual...and, took care of business. Choir members, and director Jack Noennig...organist Cindy Longhenry and pianist Gretchen Haukos ALL found their way to church these past two days.

What's interesting is that we knew the snow was gonna fly. I felt very comfortable having service for 10 people if that's who showed up...and singing the hymns/carols a cappella, if necessary. Instead, we had a FULL house on Thursday for the candlelight, and a good turnout on Christmas morning. Seriously, this was a fun, energetic couple of days to worship the Newborn King Jesus!

I might sound a bit bold here...but, if you ever are wondering about services at Good Shepherd being cancelled...stop wondering. They're on. I can walk to church if I have to...and so can 40-50 others who live within 3 blocks of the church. We're worshiping...that's what we do. Praise God in His sanctuary!
