FAMILY MOVIE NIGHT – KING OF KINGS: We’re hosting another movie night on Saturday, May 30. This month’s movie is Angel Studio’s animated feature King of Kings. A father tells his son the greatest story ever told, and what begins as a bedtime tale becomes a life-changing journey. Through vivid imagination, the boy walks alongside Jesus, witnessing His miracles, facing His trials, and understanding His ultimate sacrifice. Doors open at 4:00 PM, and the movie begins at 4:30 PM. It's simple. Just show up and settle in.
New Directory: The 2026 Good Shepherd Photo Directory is ready and can be picked up from the church atrium. We once again thank the anonymous donor who purchased these hard copies. What a huge blessing! Please take only one directory per family unit in order to ensure we have enough copies for all current families and those on the horizon of joining Good Shepherd. Soon, we will be sharing how to download and use the free directory phone app.
​
FIND YOUR PLACE AT VBS: We have high expectations for this summer’s VBS, August 10-14,
and we need your help. No experience needed. Vacation Bible School is an incredible week of Jesus-filled moments for kids. A group of dedicated volunteers is needed to make this week happen. There are a wide variety of roles, allowing each volunteer to utilize the unique gifts and talents God has given. You’ll be part of a bigger team helping kids learn that Jesus is their True North. Stop by the information board in the atrium to see how you fit in.
Scrip Orders: Did you know that Scrip can be purchased Thursday evenings at church? It is easy! Pick up an order form from the Scrip table, fill out your order, and leave it (along with your check) in the Scrip folder in the church office. The Scrip folder is located near the water cooler. You can pick up your cards from the Scrip folder the following Thursday. If you have questions, please contact Linda ramsfanl@yahoo.com
Reception Assistance: Good Shepherd is excited to be hosting a performance of the handbell ensemble, The Ringing Badgers, on June 6. If you can contribute food to be served at the reception following the concert, please sign up on the atrium bulletin board announcement. Thank you for supporting the music ministry at Good Shepherd.
Parking Lot: We talked about beginning to take steps towards replacing our parking lot at our last voter’s meetings. Our next Voter’s Meeting is coming up on June 28, and we will again be discussing updates and plans for the parking lot. Look for an email coming soon with an informational letter regarding the project. If you would like to designate funds specifically towards the parking lot, simply note “Grounds - parking lot” with your contribution.
KFUO.ORG: Tune in for a brand-new series on Sharper Iron (weekdays at 8 a.m. CT)! This week marks the start of “The Reign of Heaven Stands Near”, a study on the book of Matthew! On Thy Strong Word (weekdays at 11 a.m. CT), we’re discussing Romans chapters 8-9. Stay tuned for this month’s edition of Free-Text First Friday (6/5 at 11 a.m. CT)! Pastor Booe and Rev. Robert Smith will be tackling the subject of how to read the Bible. Find your favorite programs on demand by visiting kfuo.org!
