Hello Friends of Good Shepherd,
Since Fresno County reverted back to the purple status in regards to the Coronavirus we have to discontinue in-person worship for the time being. We hope this will be a short-lived break.
We will continue to put out the Worship Devotionals with Ron Delarm’s musical offerings.
We will also be broadcasting worship on Facebook each week. The style of worship will rotate from week to week. For this Sunday, November 22, we will have the Traditional style of worship which will be on Facebook at 10:30, the same time that worship would happen regularly. For Sunday, November 29, we will have the Praise and Celebration style of worship on Facebook at 9:00, the same time that worship would normally start. You can access those worship services through our Facebook page anytime after they are broadcast. Thanks!
God’s Peace,
Pastor Ted Niemi
We will continue to provide a Worship Devotional. It will be posted online the Friday before each Sunday.
Click on the "Find Out More" button to download the Worship Devotional for Sunday, November 22.
Included are files for children’s bulletin’s that you can print up if you have kids or know some that would like them and music from Ron Delarm.

There will be a drive through food distribution of the Lutheran Hunger Network's FREE Neighborhood Market at TBA on Saturday, 12/5, from 9-11 a.m.
We are asking all of those in the high risk categories to please refrain from volunteering this time around.
Central CA Food Bank will provide gloves, and you must use your own masks. On 12/5, 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.
Please share this information with everyone you know who could benefit and with those who might want to volunteer.

I will also be in the church driveway Sunday 11/22 from 10:00-10:45 am to gather any boxes you may have. Thank you all so much for your support of children around the world and sharing the love of Jesus. Janet McQuillan 259-3053
Also, we are in need of replenishing of funds with our ”Raise the Roof” campaign.
If they can help please mark the donation “roof”.

It's that time of year, friends! Buy-Buy-Buy! We were notified by our adopted school that they will be needing gloves to cover the kiddos hands again this year. We will also need candy canes as well. They can be dropped off in the office M-F, 9am-1pm. Share the Warmth!!!
Pastor's Note
A Word From Pastor Ted Niemi
Dear Friends,
I love the traditions of this time of year! We just had All Saints’ Day and for many in our community Dia De Los Muertos. Thanksgiving is this month. Christmas cards will start to arrive soon.
Some things will be different this year. We are being encouraged not to have large family gatherings at Thanksgining due to Covid-19. If people do what is being asked there may be smaller gatherings or maybe we will even be alone. That will make this year feel differently than most.
Some things will remain the same. It is so wonderful to be at the point now in this pandemic that we have been able to return to worship! We are collecting for Thanksgiving baskets which will go out to help feed the hungry among us. Both of those are regular activities you can normally count on this time of year.
Another thing you can normally count on happening this time of year is our Stewardship campaign. It is this time we are asked to indicate what our planned financial giving for next year will be. Thank you ahead of time for your faithful response! This month you will receive a card in the mail which you can return. If you are in worship you will be able to drop it off then. You are also welcome to mail them back.
This is all part of the “Mask of Stewardship” campaign. Thanks to Dee Wright and to all the callers who have put in time and energies in encouraging us. It is wonderful to be a part of a church that finds ways to Share the Love of Jesus even during a pandemic!
God’s Peace,
Pastor Ted
