Outdoor Worship and Picnic!
We are excited to be joining some of our neighboring ELCA Lutheran churches for an outdoor worship service and picnic on Sunday, August 17, at 10:30 am at the Silver Beaver Pavilion at Boyce Park. This worship service will replace our regular Sunday worship here at the Good Shepherd on that day. The service will also be streamed on YouTube for those who prefer to participate remotely.
The picnic will be potluck style and everyone is invited to bring something to share. Zion Penn Hills members will provide hamburgers and hot dogs. You may also want to bring lawn chair(s) and drinks.
All are welcome for worship, food, fellowship and fun!!

GSLC Photo Directory Update
Thank you to all of our members, friends and families who sat for their directory photos or submitted a photo on line! We are actively working to capture photos of all of our formal and informal groups and committees and hope to have that completed this summer. Our goal is to have all of the photos taken and ready for publication in September. If you have a group that would like to be represented and haven’t had their photo taken, please reach out to Pastor Bob. Also, we are still able to receive downloaded individual, couples or family photos for the directory. You can find the way to do that on our website.
Looking forward to completing our 2025 GSLC Photo Directory soon!

A Momentous Day in Ministry — Sunday, July 6
Join us in joyful celebration as we welcome The Rev. Melissa L. Stoller, newly elected Bishop of the Southwestern Pennsylvania Synod of the ELCA, as our Guest Pastor!
Rev. Stoller made history on June 13 as the first woman elected to serve as Bishop in our Synod’s history — a milestone moment for our church and community. Her inspiring leadership and deep commitment to justice, compassion, and faith will surely enrich this special Sunday together.
Come be part of this special moment in our synod history. Expect a powerful message, warm fellowship, and the opportunity to hear from a visionary leader who has walked alongside diverse communities—from Zion Lutheran in Penn Hills to Minnesota and Russia.
Let’s warmly receive Bishop-Elect Stoller and give thanks for this spirit-led moment in our journey of faith.

Congratulations, Pastor Stoller
Congratulations, Pastor Stoller! Our newly elected bishop is a friend of this congregation and its pastor. She is currently an assistant to Bp. Kusserow and served as the pastor of Zion Lutheran Church in Penn Hills before that. We rejoice in her ministry and pray God will bless her work among us as our bishop. Pr. Stoller will assume the office of bishop in September.
You are enthusiastically invited to join us on Sunday, July 6, as we welcome Bishop-elect Stoller as our special guest pastor! It promises to be a meaningful and uplifting service—be sure to save the date!
Her installation is planned for October 18 at 1:00 – details to come but mark your calendar because you’re invited!
