There will be a food distribution of the Lutheran Hunger Network's FREE Neighborhood Market at Bulldog Pantry located at 2311 E. Shaw Ave., 93710, on Saturday, 12/04/21, from 9-11 a.m.
Central CA Food Bank will provide gloves, and you will need to bring your own mask. On 12/4, 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. Thank you for your ongoing support of this ministry! Julie W.

Upcoming Events
For many years now, one of our Advent traditions at Good Shepherd has been gathering together to finish our Roeding glove project, to eat together, and to make a small project to brighten our homes in preparation for Christmas.
That means it's time to stay after worship and make your Gingerbread House! We have decided to make it a lunch date this year so people don’t have to come back later in the day. We will spread out in the community center and are asking everyone to wear masks to protect the most vulnerable.
Please bring your best chili &/or fixings such as Fritos, cheese, onions, salsa, corn bread, etc. We will provide drinks and have some bowls and spoons available but, as always, we encourage everyone to bring your own place settings.
We are going to set up a zoom link for people to join from home if they aren’t able to join us in person. If you have decorating essentials you’d like to share, please bring those, too.
Questions? See Janet or Julie. Start making your plans now and get those creative juices flowing. We are ready to be wow-ed!!
Pastor's Note
A Word From Pastor Ted Niemi
Dear Friends,
Welcome to the last month of 2021! 2021 was another year of faithful ministry here at Good Shepherd. One of the questions that speaks to a church’s vitality is, “If your church would close, would the neighborhood miss it/even notice?” 2021 was a strong year of serving our community. You can see some of that reflected in this newsletter. You can read more about it in our Annual Report which will soon be coming.
Our ministry takes coordination, support and leadership. We have been exceptionally blessed this year to have the leadership we have had on our Church Council. Please take a moment to thank them when you see them for all they have done to help us live up to our mission of “Sharing the Love of Jesus.” Their names are listed here so you can acknowledge them:
President/Education: Yvonne Smith Secretary: Lori DeGiovanni Treasurer: Carol Sullivan Financial Secretary: Mary Norris Stewardship: Dee Wright Property: Woody Wilk Evangelism: Sue Hays Christian Education: Julie Werfelmann
We still are looking for people to help lead on the Council. If you can serve please see me or any Council member if you can help.
This has been another unusual year. We weren’t even worshipping together when they year began! Not everyone has felt safe about coming back to church yet. Your faithfulness in worship and your support of GSLC is more appreciated than ever!
I look forward to worshipping with you!
God’s Peace, Pastor Ted
