Food Distribution
There will be a food distribution of the Lutheran Hunger Network's FREE Neighborhood Market at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church located at 2101 N. Fruit Ave. on Saturday, 6/04, from 9-11 a.m. Central CA Food Bank will provide gloves, and you will need to bring your own mask. On 6/4, anyone planning to volunteer 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 get food for their own household, too, just like usual. Please share this information with everyone you know who could benefit and with those who might want to volunteer. Questions can be directed to me @ 13jdixon13@gmail.com or 559-287-3457.

Upcoming Events
Roeding Carnival Friday, 5/27 @ 12:30 - Update
The Roeding Carnival is starting earlier than originally planned. The new hours are 12:30-2:30, and we are still in charge of the Cake Walk. We will need some people there to set up at 12 pm, so please be sure to contact Julie if you can help. Additionally, we cannot bring homemade items this year due to Covid precautions. I'm very sorry for the changes, but I just found out. All bakery items will need to be dropped off at the GSLC office by 11:30 a.m. on Friday 5/27 or brought over to Roeding by 12:15 p.m. We will need small packages of 2-4 cupcakes, muffins, eclairs, cookies, donuts, etc. Thank you for your continued support of our adopted school!
Pentecost Sunday Picnic
We are planning to celebrate the Day of Pentecost with a picnic after worship on Sunday, June 5th. We will have a bunch of bratwursts along with toppings and will set up a sundae bar for dessert. The congregation is invited to bring salads and sides to share as well as your own reusable place settings. (But yes, there will be paper plates available for those who forget.) If it is too hot outside, we will eat inside Jacobson. Please plan to join together with your Good Shepherd family to celebrate the birthday of the Church and the coming of the Holy Spirit.
Pastor's Note
A Word From Pastor Ted Niemi
Dear Friends,
Recently we celebrated Easter. What a wonderful day of worship and seeing each other again! It was great to welcome back those of you who have gotten out of the habit of regular worship. The church was full. The songs seemed to be sung with even more joy than usual. It was a real high point.
The following weekend the church was full again. This time it was on Saturday for Paul Werfelmann’s musical memorial. As you could expect, a man as great as Paul gets a good size crowd to show up at his funeral. Have you ever wondered how many people will be at yours? Anyway, for two weekends the church was full. It was exciting to have that much energy. On both weekends we welcomed back people who had been gone for awhile.
Then we celebrated the Sunday AFTER Easter. Maybe it was because we had such a huge memorial service the day before, but it was obvious there were a lot more open seats than just a day prior, and week prior. I guess this shouldn’t surprise me as it is a pattern we have seen for years. It just seemed particularly true this year.
Whichever group you fall into, I’m so glad you worshipped with us when you did! If your worship pattern has dropped off, I encourage you to make worship a priority again. There is a lot of strength that we get from each other when we come together in community. If you were one of the ones in church the Sunday AFTER Easter, I just want to commend you for your faithfulness! You recognize that God’s love is something to be celebrated everyday, not just on the holy days.
I hope this season of Easter brings you new life however you may need it. I also hope to see you at worship!
God’s Peace,
Pastor Ted
