Council meeting will follow at 6:30 PM in the Choir Room.
Mission of the Month: July Mission of the Month is the Oshkosh Back to School Fair! This is the 27th annual event and Good Shepherd is joining up with other local churches to outfit students for the new school year. There will be backpack tags located on the Mission of the month bulletin board, select a tag, purchase the requested items, and return them UNWRAPPED to be placed in the wrapped cardboard boxes. Please help us assist kids in our community by supporting this mission by shopping or giving a monetary donation in the month of July. The items will be distributed to the kids on August 12 & 13 at Vel Phillips Middle School. Thank you for your generosity.
Note of Appreciation: Thank you, members of Good Shepherd, for your generous support of Good Shepherd's June Mission of the Month, New Springs Christian Academy. You have blessed the Academy with $1966.00 to make sure the children learn the name, love, and hope of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ! Spreading the name and Good News of Jesus is our #1 mission, and you are doing it! God is pleased that you are sowing your seed on this fertile ground for His Harvest! Proverbs 22:6: "Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it."
Food Donations: Thank you for your generosity in the month of June! For the month of July, our food drive theme will be “Shark Week!” We will be collecting canned/smoked fish, like salmon or tuna. Other canned meats would also be appreciated. Thank you for your help; let’s take a bite out of hunger together!
THRIVENT CHOICE: Did you know all Thrivent members now receive Choice Dollars to direct to the non-profit of their choice? Choice Dollars will be available at the start of the year and can be designated at any time of the year through December 31. Thrivent Choice dollars are donated by Thrivent and are not considered contributions of the individual member. Thrivent does not share the amount of Choice Dollars given on behalf of their members so all Choice Dollars are deposited into Good Shepherd’s General Fund.
Joseph: King of Dreams: Join us for a free movie and popcorn on Saturday, July 25. Bring your sleeping bag, pillow, favorite stuffed animal or not! With his gift of dream interpretation and his brilliantly colored coat, Joseph inspires jealousy in his brothers in this animated Bible story. Doors open at 4:00 PM and movie starts at 4:30 PM. All are welcome!
