Food Distribution
There will be a food distribution of the Lutheran Hunger Network at GSLC located at 5140 N. Fruit Ave., on April 5 from 9-1PM. You can come for any or all and don't need to have signed up. Central CA Food Bank will provide gloves, but volunteers need to bring their own masks if desired and wear close toed shoes. As in the past, anyone planning to volunteer on Saturday who is or has been feeling ill - especially if they have or have had a fever, cough or flu-like symptoms - is asked to PLEASE stay home. Volunteers will be encouraged to drive through and get food for their own household, too, just like usual. Please share this information with anyone you know who could benefit and with those who might want to volunteer. Questions can be directed to Julie @ 13jdixon13@gmail.com or 559-287-3457. Thank you for your ongoing support of this ministry.

A Note From Pastor Ted Niemi
Dear Friends,
This month we celebrate the holy day of holidays with Easter. April 20 will be a high point for us this year. There will be all kinds of ways that we will be celebrating the new life that is ours because of Jesus rising from the dead. Please see the Easter schedule included in this newsletter. Thank you to all those of you who are helping make things happen for this great day/season! It takes everyone doing what they can to make our church great.
Another way we see new life here at Good Shepherd is with our new capital campaign for our sanctuary HVAC. Many of you stayed after worship last Sunday to share your ideas and enthusiasm for how we can raise money. All of your thoughts and ideas are appreciated. I would like to thank you for being a part of this campaign. It will be wonderful to be in our sanctuary during all seasons of the year and not just when the weather fits our situation.
There are other signs of new life: new people who have found our church to be their new church home, our Lenten gatherings with the shared meal and Bible study, the creative leadership of our Council President Mary and the Council who are doing a remarkable job … not to mention all of the personal growth we have experienced as individuals.
There is much going on in our world to be concerned about. Our country and our global community are under unusual stresses as the world order seems to be upside down these days. It is so important that our church exists to be a place that people can experience new life. Here we celebrate hope for our future. We lift up the fact that what God has planned for our world is greater than the forces fighting for chaos. Thanks for whatever it is that you do to make that happen. And praise Jesus for Easter!
He is Risen,
Pastor Ted
