The Church Service at Good Shepherd is canceled on Sunday, February 24, 2019.  All other church activities are also canceled for the day.  Please phone a friend and help spread the word to those who might not be checking Facebook, email, or the church website this morning.  

Luther College’s Gospel Sunday worship is still happening at 10am today. I will try to get there.  You can go to worship there or watch live online here.

We will welcome new members Karen McLean and Wes, Erin, Ani, and Quinn Anderson.

Join Jon Ailabouni on Sunday, February 24, for a presentation on jazz, faith, and worship. From the music of Duke Ellington and Mary Lou Williams to John Coltrane and Albert Ayler, jazz music has a long history of being explicitly tied to worship and spirituality. The Forum will explore how jazz carries meaning through sound and how the music offers a fresh perspective in worship and our faith lives.

JAZZ SERVICE: On Sunday, February 17, Jon Ailabouni will lead the first of four monthly jazz worship services at Good Shepherd. The service will use his arrangements of familiar liturgy and hymns set in various jazz styles and feature Luther student musicians.

“When we bring jazz into worship, we engage as a faith community with an American musical tradition which expresses hope in the face of adversity, freedom within structure, and sophistication with soulfulness. I look forward to experiencing the intersection of this music with our faith lives together in worship.”
