Diocesan Council Volunteers: Please consider volunteering for the 145th Diocesan Council for the REC NEMA diocese, hosted here at Good Shepherd! We are thrilled to host council this year and expect to have about 85 or more members from churches within the diocese come for registration and Holy Communion on Thursday morning, November the 6th. We are seeking six volunteers. There is a sign-up sheet in the Education Building. Please see Lynette McCarl with any questions.  

Midweek Holy Communion:  Join us Wednesday evenings at 7pm.  Deacon Kevin is offering reflections on Jesus' Farewell Discourse, going verse by verse through John Chapter 14.  

Parish Hike:  Join us for a Parish Hike, Sunday, October 12 following worship.  This is considered a moderate hike because of the switchbacks and rocky terrain.  It's a little less than 5 miles total. It's out-and-back (not a loop) so people could go only as far as they like and turn around.   Cumberland Valley Overlook, Carlisle, PA 17015 click here for more info about the trail.  Here is the address:  250 Sherwood Dr, Carlisle PA 17015https://maps.google.com/maps/?daddr=250%20Sherwood%20DriveCarlisle,%20PA%2017015

Parish Clean Up Day:  Scheduled for Saturday, October 18, we will meet at 9am.  This clean-up day will be in preparation for Good Shepherd Hosting the Diocesan Council in November.  

Vestry meeting: Next Vestry meeting is October 26 following Holy Communion. 

The next women's meeting will be October 26 at 4 o'clock at the LeGrand's house. We will be starting a new book, The Promised One by Nancy Guthrie. If you would like a copy, you can give Tara Samuelsen $20 to order for you or feel free to order it yourself. 

All Hallows Eve:  Holy Communion at 7pm in observance of All Hallows Eve, 10/31.

Prayers Remembrances for All Souls:  As custom, we will remember the departed for the Feast of All Souls Day (November 2).  If you have any names you would like to add to the remembrance prayer list, please email the parish.  

Bulletin Announcements:  If you have an announcement for the Sunday Bulletin, they need to be emailed to the parish no later than Tuesday evening as bulletins are printed on Wednesdays.  Thank you!  

Ushers: If you are interested in being an Usher on Sunday morning, please email the Church.  We could use another 2 or 3 ushers to provide adequate coverage for each Sunday.  Thank you!
