New Choir/Band Chairs Have Arrived!

April 17, 2019 by

On Wednesday, April 17, twenty new choir/band chairs ordered from Gunder Church Furniture (Humboldt, Iowa) arrived in time for the Easter celebrations at Good Shepherd.  The chairs were ordered as part of the sanctuary renovation project at Good Shepherd which started in 2016.  The oak chairs, which match the stain of the oak pews in the sanctuary, were designed so hymnals and choir/band books could be inserted underneath with access from both the front and back.  Upholstery was selected to coordinate with the other new colors in the sanctuary.

Palm/Passion Sunday, April 14, 2019

April 12, 2019 by

9:30 a.m. – WORSHIP SERVICE WITH HOLY COMMUNION AND READING OF THE PASSION STORY – Everyone is invited to gather in the Fellowship Hall for an outdoor Procession with Palms into the Sanctuary. Worship music led Jonathan Struve, with special music by the Good Shepherd Choir, conducted by Jonathan Struve.

From Pastor Amy … This Sunday we remember both Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem and his suffering and death. This day holds both great joy and deep sorrow, as do our lives. This Sunday assures us how deeply Jesus enters into our lives in order to love the world. May we enter into this Holy Week fully that we may be formed to more fully love the world.
