Join us in person or live-stream on Facebook this Sunday. We are open for both services and will be live-streaming both. If you have a Facebook account, click on the Facebook link on the home screen to access the videos. The videos are saved to the page, so you don't have to watch live if that doesn't work for you.
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 the Sixth Sunday of Easter, May 9.

There will once again be a drive through food distribution of the Lutheran Hunger Network at TBA on Saturday, 6/5/21, from 9-11 a.m.
Central CA Food Bank will provide gloves, and you will need to bring your own mask. On 6/5, 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. Volunteers will be encouraged to drive through and 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.

Pastor's Note
A Word From Pastor Ted Niemi
Dear Friends,
Happy Easter! It has now been a month since we resumed in-person worship. For those who have been vaccinated it has been an interesting time to be in church. Once again, I encourage you to get vaccinated for Covid-19 if you haven’t already. You will strengthen your health, the health of those around you, including those here at church.
Today the Center for Disease Control said that for those of us who have been vaccinated it is ok now to take off our masks outside, although not in too large of groups. It is exciting to be entering this new way of life where some of the restrictions are being lifted.
I said it has been an interesting time to be in church. For me it is not just the wearing masks, not singing or praying out loud together, or the distanced seating that makes it different. It is also because not everyone is in a position to come back to church yet. Those of you who have not been fully vaccinated or have other health considerations are wise to wait.
Because not everyone is back we need more people to help out. During the pandemic both head ushers moved. We need ushers at both services. We need people to sign up to read the lessons. We need people to help out on Church Council. We need someone to help with the PowerPoint at our 9:00 worship.
One of the advantages of being a part of a church like Good Shepherd is you have the opportunity to make a difference. This has never been truer than it is now. Please let me know, or Council President Yvonne Smith, if you can help on Council. If you can help at worship, please do. Helping with worship is a great way to serve God and each other. There will be other needs as we gear up to fully reopen.
I look forward to ministry with you as we enter into this new way of being together!
God’s Peace,
Pastor Ted
