CURRENT COVID PROTOCOLS
As infection rates continue to decline, our council and committees have made a few changes to our worship services.
Here’s what we decided:
- Continue with our two services for now, but we will once again be coming to the altar for communion.
- Gradually increase singing at both services.
- Provide the southern-most section of the sanctuary for physical distancing.
- Encourage the use of our live-streamed worship for anyone who has been exposed to COVID, is feeling ill, is immune-compromised, or is not fully vaccinated.
- Gradually relax mask requirements and add in fellowship opportunities. Other basic mitigations we’ve kept in place throughout this pandemic will continue for the time being.
If numbers continue to stay low, we are hoping to return to a more “normal” pattern.
Thank you! Let us worship God together in peace, health, and joy!!
Here We Walk
Get some exercise as we walk (or run/swim/bike) together with the goal of 1000 miles in 5 weeks. Each day you’ll receive an update as we explore the places of Martin Luther’s life. Including fun facts, devotional thoughts, and questions to ponder along the way, this walk is something you can safely do at your own convenience while also interacting in our private Facebook group. Sign up today!

Virtual Nativity Walk
Join Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in their Virtual Nativity Walk again this Holiday season. Produced in 2020, but reposted again for your enjoyment, we encourage you to once again bring the warmth of Christ’s birth into your living room–or any room–and come together to enjoy the beauty of the Champaign-Urbana Lutheran Community’s unique collection of nativities.
