We will be gathering notes of Thanks and Appreciation for Staff through October. Just drop your note in the basket in the Narthex on any Sunday morning in October, or you are welcome to mail your note to Good Shepherd, and they will be distributed to the Staff. We appreciate all the gifts our Staff brings!

Rising TIDE is a free afterschool program in downtown Long Beach that our church has supported for many years. Any donation received during September will be matched by a member of our church (up to $5,000) and matched by Friends of Rising TIDE. Please write your check to Rising TIDE and bring it to the Rising TIDE table on the plaza on Sunday, September 28th. Inner city Long Beach kids thank you!

Join us Wednesday, October 1st at 4:45pm in the Choir Room as Doug Scholten leads us in the discussion "More Difficult Sayings of Jesus." We will continue our exploration of the gospels as we find what Jesus said and taught. We will take a deeper look at some of the difficult sayings of Jesus that leave us scratching our heads and some that we find too difficult to understand. Plan to say for dinner, worship, and classes afterwards.    

The Good Shepherd Stewardship Team will present two identical sessions on "Leaving a Lasting Legacy for Future Generations." These informative presentations will be held on Wednesday, October 8th during Faith at Four (45) in the Choir Room and again at the Prime Time Luncheon on Thursday, October 9th at 12 noon in Zirbel Hall. Stefanie Marsden, Relationship Manager of the Texas Presbyterian Foundation, will be our featured speaker. Please RSVP to Ellie in the church office at ellie@gspc.org or 562/493.2553 x200. 

Fall into Bunco! All ladies are welcome to attend Friday, October 10th at 6pm in Zirbel Hall. Cost is $15 which includes a baked potato bar dinner with dessert. Sign up at the Women's Ministry table on the Plaza. 

Come join us for a time of fun and fellowship in the Fireside Room at 6:30pm on October 3rd. No skills needed.

Flu Shots will be given on September 28th and October 12th between worship gatherings in Zirbel Hall. Senior shots and regular shots will be available. Home visits can be arranged. Contact Beth Piburn for more information. 

Serve Day for Love Our Cities is scheduled for Saturday, October 11th. Volunteers are needed for various projects. Breakfast will be served at 7:30am at Parkcrest Church. Projects are expected to run from approximately 9am to noon. These projects include wrapping gifts, baking cookies for senior lunch, and cleaning the sanctuary at Christian Outreach in Action.
