Pastor read a darling children's book to our youth during the Children's Sermon. The book "Library Lion", referenced our Gospel of the day Luke 13:10-17 and made the point that "People are more important than rules." #champaignurbana #savoyillinois #elca

This Sunday, August 31, at GSLC: Join us for worship at 9 AM as we wrap-up our summer liturgy with a special Labor Day Blessing for Hands. Our Gospel text invites us to think about table manners in God's kingdom - and we're reminded that all are welcome at God's Table - and at Good Shepherd - always. #elca #champaignurbana #savoyillinois

Bob Clark: Donna & I came to Good Shepherd in November 1971 (54 years in November)
Following Jesus and being a disciple is clearly outlined in John 21 Verse 15-16. Jesus asked Peter if he loved him. When Peter said yes Jesus’ command was Feed my lambs, Tend and feed my sheep. As a follower of Jesus, I believe I’m a disciple of Jesus by loving, caring, sharing with my neighbor. Jesus' words as recorded in the gospel “when you do it to the least of these you do it unto me”.

Good Shepherd is a” doing church”. We are involved in a variety of outreach events that serve our neighbors, The food pantry and the work of family food deliveries through Empty Tomb and our little pantry have a direct impact on people’s daily lives. The efforts our members make in shopping, storing, packing, and delivering food are inspirational. That’s a program you can be passionate about. The food pantry is special to me on different levels. John & Sylvia Ronsvalle visited Good Shepherd in the early seventies and invited our church to join with other Christians in a food ministry and commit to making regular food deliveries to families who were suffering from food insecurity. Our church accepted the challenge, and the food deliveries started by members like my wife Donna continue to this day. I’ve helped with food deliveries for over half a century.

Members of Good Shepherd step up and serve when they see opportunities to join in meaningful opportunities. Teaching, preaching & reaching in Jesus’ name is not just a tag line here it’s a call to action. While it’s quite flattering to be recognized by your peers as Someone to Know, we’re all in this together. Good Shepherd has so many committed people with a variety of gifts to share. I hope I’m one of many of that group.

Sunday, August 24, at GSLC: As we gather for worship (at 9 AM), we hear a story of Jesus healing on the Sabbath and proclaiming that the Sabbath is (and always has been) a day for healing and wholeness, restoration and justice. This Sunday, we'll ask: How do we honor the sabbath in our own lives? Holy Communion, a special musical opportunity, children's activities, and more are part of worship this week. See you in Church! #elca #champaignurbana #savoyillinois
