It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Pastor Joan Mau who was involved in a fatal car accident Sunday morning, May 24, in Fayette County.  She was was returning from conducting Pentecost Worship Services at West Clermont Lutheran Church.   Her car drifted across the center line and hit an oncoming semi-truck. Fjelstul Funeral Home is handling arrangements.  A full obituary and information about services will be forthcoming.  Pastor Mau served as pastor of Good Shepherd from 1999-2014.
John 11:25-26.  Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life.  Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die.”

 

Pentecost Celebration

IMG_0730

Pentecost is the third great festival of the Church Year and the last Sunday of the Easter season. The liturgical color is RED and visible in the altar and pulpit paraments, gates in the weavings, gladiola blossoms that symbolize tongues of flame, and the use of red ribbons and decorations inside and outside. The service this year featured the liturgy composed by Ben Larson, “Behold, I Make All Things New” sung by the congregation.
