We read this amazing story about how God created the sky and trees, sun and moon, animals and water, and so much more, in just six days! In celebration of the Creation and the Creator, starting on September 24th, we are going to devote five entire worship services to celebrating the Creation. The schedule and topics are:
September 24: Planet Earth October 1: Forests
October 8: Oceans
October 15: Climate October 22: Blessing of the Animals
May you feel closer to God in His Creation as we all enjoy a worship experience that includes scripture, music and art. Mark your calendar now for the first Creation service on Sunday, September 24th!

Pastor's Note
A Word From Pastor Ted Niemi
Dear Friends,
This has been a most unusual summer of worship for us! As you know, the air conditioner in the sanctuary went out well over a month ago. As we have done in the past when the air conditioner has gone out we made do in Jacobsen Hall. Only this year Jacobsen Hall was set up for a Hawaiian theme for Vacation Bible School! So, it had a very festive feel. Another difference was that the air conditioner wasn’t just out for one Sunday, but it has yet to be fixed. We have been assured, however, that the motor that went out will be here this month.
Last Sunday I had five people come up to me after worship and tell me that not only has this been a nice switch but they kind of like us worshipping in Jacobsen Hall better. They told me it is nice not to have to go anywhere after church for the coffee hour, because we are already there. I heard about how great the acoustics are in the hall. Just as a reminder, the hall was our first sanctuary when Good Shepherd was on Shaw. It was great to hear how adaptable everyone seems to be.
I can’t imagine a bigger change to our worship life than being out of the sanctuary. There are jokes about how Lutherans can’t change. You proved that not only are some changes not bad, but they are good! I hope Good Shepherd is always known as a place that adapts as well as we have this summer. Change is a constant in our life.
Speaking of which, did you hear we are voting on a new bishop for our Sierra Pacific Synod? Mary Norris and I will be representing Good Shepherd this month in Burlingame at the Assembly. What new changes will come with a new bishop? We’ll see, but I’m confident we will face them together, continuing to Share the Love of Jesus!
God’s Peace,
Pastor Ted
