There will be a food distribution of the Lutheran Hunger Network’s FREE Neighborhood Market on Saturday, 8/3, from 9-11 a.m. at All Nation's 7th Day Adventist Church located at 3140 N. Argyle Ave., Fresno, CA. 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,
Today I was texting my best friend from my elementary-high school days. We were sharing with each other what we had been up to in terms of fun. He said he was getting into karaoke. Then he said something that struck me. He said he liked karaoke at one bar in particular “because the people who go to this bar, even though they are from different walks of life, are so welcoming.” I thought to myself, “sounds like a good church!” I have heard that Good Shepherd is a welcoming congregation. I imagined what people might say about our welcoming.
It is true that our congregation is made up of different walks of life. I like to think that with that kind of diversity there is someone who can relate to whoever is coming to visit us. I appreciate how our differences have not been polarizing like they are in society.
Tonight the Presidential Debate will be on TV. I will watch it. I am so grateful that in a society as polarized as ours can be we can also experience the acceptance of all here at church. After all, that is the way it will be in Heaven. We better get used to it.
Thank you for your being a welcoming congregation. I hope visitors feel the same way about our community as my friend does about his bar. We are from different walks of life, yet hopefully always so welcoming. We worship the same God, maybe praying for radically different outcomes in terms of things like the upcoming election, but united in the love that God has for all people. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if people caught a glimpse of Heaven from our fellowship here?
See you at worship!
God’s Peace,
Pastor Ted
