New Member Reception and 5th Sunday Potluck
On Sunday March 30th, we will be having a 5th Sunday Potluck for EVERYONE! We will have a signup sheet in the Narthex for members to sign up to bring something for the potluck (This is so that we do not have tons of the same delicious foods). In addition we will be having our New Member Reception during church and also during the potluck in the fellowship hall to welcome those members to Good Shepherd Lutheran Church. Please come to welcome and get to know our newest members as well as fellowship with all members.
Funeral Luncheon Help
When there is a funeral at our church, we provide a luncheon for the family and friends. The generous donations start with phone call from a list of volunteers. If you are not on the list and would be willing to help there is a sign-up sheet on the Narthex bulletin board. There are several jobs, so it gives everyone an opportunity to help. This is a wonderful, caring service that we do for the family. Questions? Contact Jan Kayne or Sue Bieszk.
Volunteers needed
To “Be a lunch monitor” for a ½hr once a week, on a rotating schedule (very easy to do). The instructions & sign-up sheet are on the bulletin board. Mary Martha Guild
2025 Altar Flower Chart
Is posted on the Narthex bulletin board for anyone who wishes to sign up for any occasion. With having two arrangements on the altar, two may sign up for one Sunday. The cost for one arrangement is $25 or $50 for both. If you wish to have both arrangements, please specify this on the chart.

Seminary Student
Good Shepherd sponsors a seminary student for Concordia Seminary, Daniel Brummet. There is a note from him posted on the Narthex bulletin board. If you wish to donate toward this, there are white envelopes in a basket on the table in the Narthex, labeled “seminary student”. Just put your donation in the envelope and drop it in an offering plate or give it to one the Elders.
East Troy Food Pantry Collection
There is a food collection area in the Narthex to which you may bring non-perishable foods, toiletries, and paper products whenever you come to church. There is a list of items needed posted on the Narthex bulletin board. Volunteers will regularly take the collected items to the East Troy Food Pantry. It’s our way of being witnesses for Christ by sharing the blessings of God with others.
