Thanksgiving Service at Lord of the Streets-In lieu of a Thanksgiving service at Good Shepherd this year, you are invited to service at Lord of the Streets on Wednesday, November 27th at 11:00 a.m.  Their weekly services are held at Trinity Episcopal Church at 1015 Holman in Midtown.  This is an especially notable time for the clients of LOTS in that the Bishop will be in attendance for confirmation of the members.  You are all invited to attend.  In addition, the Outreach Committee is organizing to give out “Goodie Bags” to the clients of LOTS after the service.  They will be attending their own luncheon but we wanted to add to their holiday with the bags.  Many of the downtown services that normally provide food over the weekend for the homeless will be closed because of Thanksgiving. 

Volunteers are invited to pack the goodie bags after the 9:15 service on November 16th and 23rd if necessary. 

On Friday, November 22, Lone Star College's EVoK group will present its Fall Concert in our sanctuary at 7:30 PM

Special ALL SAINTS Service with Baptisms!

We will celebrate All Saints & The Faithful Departed on Sunday, November 3rd with special music and a new way of incorporating those we love but see no longer. Please bring pictures of your loved ones who are now in heaven to place on the window sills in the nave (main worship space). Framed or unframed is fine; you will take them home after the service. There will be only one service that day at 9:15am, but if you normally attend at 10:15 you won't lose sleep because that is the day we set our clocks back an hour. The 3rd and 4th graders will have a special procession with saint posters they create (See more information in the children's education section of the bulletin.) A celebratory brunch will follow the service. 

Join us this Sunday August 18th from 5:30-7:30 where we will be deciding the new teen Vestry Council and hearing an inspiring talk about a personal spirit journey. It is a great opportunity to get involved and have fellowship with peers from our church and please bring a friend from school so we can all connect with our community. We will eat a meal, get all your ideas for mission trip, fellowship, and make our calendar activities for the year. Don’t miss out on a fun enriching experience. Participating in EYC will also help you with school service hours and leadership skills not to mention making memories that will last a lifetime.

Hope to see you there.
