Communion Class, November 22, 10:45 am

November 11, 2015 by

IntinctionKids ages 4-15 and parents are invited to a communion class with Pr. Amy on Sunday, Nov. 22. We will gather in the narthex and use the narthex and sanctuary. This will be interactive and will help kids to understand how our celebration of communion in worship is like a meal.

I will continue to offer classes on communion periodically and seek to make communion and participation in worship and the sacrament a special experience for kids. Your child is welcome to commune whenever you feel it is right. Please let me know know if you would like one on one conversation about communion with you and your child(ren).
Peace,
Pastor Amy

November 4, 2015 by

organic-tea-ginger-new
Good Shepherd’s W/ELCA Coffee Project is excited to introduce three new caffeine-free Equal Exchange teas, Organic Ginger, Organic Green Tea with Ginger, and Organic Rooibos Chai.  The teas will be available starting on November 8 at the Country Store and into December!  The Organic Ginger tea is grown by the small-scale farmers of the Marginalized Organic Producers’ Association (MOPA) in Sri Lanka. The green tea in Organic Green Tea with Ginger comes from the Potong Tea Garden, located in northern India in the foothills of the Himalaya, and the ginger is from MOPA in Sri Lanka.

organic-tea-rooibos-chai-new The rooibos in the Organic Rooibos Chai is grown by farmers at the Wupperthal Original Rooibos Co-operative (WORC), democratically-organized small-scale farmers who have grown rooibos in South Africa for generations, and the chai spices are from the Small Organic Farmers’ Association (SOFA) in Sri Lanka.  All tea is $3.00 per box.

We’re also bringing back the Equal Exchange dark chocolate–this time in miniature! The 55% dark chocolate minis, with cocoa beans from farmer co-operatives in the Dominican Republic and Peru, sugar from co-operatives in Paraguay and vanilla from a co-operative in Madagascar, are 5 for $1.00, so you can have a sweet treat without the guilt!
