“Now Then, Do It!”  - a message of encouragement and call to action to respond to the needs of our children in today’s world embracing Lucy and Josiah’s motto which guided them throughout their lifetimes and ministry. They grounded themselves in scripture and practical theology. Their motto challenges us today – proactive, not fatalistic. What and who are we called to be now in order to respond to and welcome the children (and those new to the faith) to uphold our baptismal vow; with evermore conviction to standing up and speaking up for the children in our midst, and to serve and love our neighbor.

 
Bulletin

Deaconess Catherine Inserra is the Manager of Faith and Community Relations with Kids Above All (formerly ChildServ), a United Methodist affiliated, non-profit agency building better lives for children since 1894. Originally established as the Methodist Deaconess Orphanage in Lake Bluff, IL Lucy Rider Meyer, founder and social visionary, is credited for the revival of the Deaconess movement.

    Catherine builds mission partnerships with local churches, community groups and schools throughout the Northern IL Conference of the United Methodist Church, but not limited to, in order to uphold our Methodist roots and further mission partnerships. It is these partnerships that help to fortify our staff and programs in four counties, and more importantly, the recipients of these services. Together, we stand up and speak up for kids for them to rise to reach their potential and live a good life.

All Church Conference

Zoom

 

 HEALTH TEAM UPDATE: Our Health Team continues to meet and is now allowing established groups of the Church of the Good Shepherd, as well as those who contribute to our online worship production, Little Shepherd Preschool, and others with a previously agreed-upon contract, to use our building. These established groups must follow the guidelines for registration through the office and all safety guidelines as we work toward a safe return!

 

BIBLE STUDY: The Sunday morning 10 am Zoom Bible study began a study of 1 & 2 Peter on October 11th.   Peter's emphasis in these books is on holiness and showing the fruits of the Spirit day by day, a lifestyle which will counter accusations coming from those critical of the Church, and keep believers in good stead for Christ's Second Coming. He also tackles the thorny problem of false teaching, which was obviously a cause for concern.  New members are always welcome!  If you’d like to join the class, contact Janet McCarty at jmmccarty70@gmail.com.   

Thank you to everyone for taking the extra effort and time to get your financial gifts to us.
