Prayers for the Week of May 19

Family and friends of Max D.
On Sunday, June 8th at our 10:30 am worship service, we will be celebrating Pentecost; when the Holy Spirit descended like a dove and all were who heard them heard them speak in their own native language. Our worship service will take on a unique international flavor featuring readings- read in Latvian, Swedish and Spanish – read by members of our congregation! The sanctuary will be adorned in the traditional red and we will be using hymns and other musical selections that originated from nations outside of the US. We are excited about this special worship service remembering the coming of the Holy Spirit and the celebration of a new church made up of all nations! Join in this special worship service and don’t forget to wear red!

Holy Week and Easter at The Good Shepherd Lutheran Church
We invite you to join us for worship and reflection as we walk together through the sacred moments of Christ’s journey this Holy Week. On Maundy Thursday and Good Friday, we will gather at 7:00 PM, both in person and online via YouTube, to remember the Last Supper and the sacrifice of the cross. Through scripture, prayer, and music, we will pause to reflect on the depth of Christ’s love and grace poured out for all. These services will prepare our hearts for the joy of Easter, reminding us of the hope we find in His promise.
Then, on Easter Sunday at 10:30 AM, we will come together to celebrate the risen Christ with a festive communion service. Whether you join us in the sanctuary or from the comfort of your home via YouTube, we welcome you to experience the triumphant message of resurrection and renewal. This special service will feature inspiring music, joyous hymns, and powerful expressions of praise that reflect the beauty of new life in Christ. The celebration of Easter is a time for us to rejoice in the fullness of God’s love and embrace the hope that it brings.
We encourage you to be part of these meaningful services, to worship, reflect, and celebrate with us. Holy Week and Easter remind us of God’s unwavering love and the promise of life anew. Together, as a community of faith, we will gather in gratitude and anticipation, embracing the profound beauty of this sacred season. Join us at The Good Shepherd Lutheran Church and let us rejoice in the glory of Christ’s resurrection!
