Book Study of Generation to Generation The third meeting of the Generation to Generation book study, on zoom, will be October 15.

Hearing Aid Batteries Do you wear hearing aids that take battery size 121?  If so, please contact the office as we have been given a very generous supply and would like to find someone who can use them.

Chili Cookoff! This year’s annual chili cookoff will be held this Sunday, October 2 directly after the 10:30 service. We’ll have three categories:

  • Meat (traditional pork/beef-based chili)
  • Vegetarian
  • Non-Traditional (white chili, chicken chili, etc.)

If you would like to enter the competition, please make sure your chili is present before the 10:30 service, labeled with your name and the name of your chili.  If you don’t want to enter the competition, please feel free to bring a great chili side dish to share!

If you would like to be a judge, please let Steph know.

Volunteers for Tech Team Are you a technologically capable person who would like to serve the church with your gifts? Good Shepherd is looking add a volunteer team to run sound and the livestream for our services. If this is a ministry that interests you, please reach out to Micah.

Home Groups Most Home Groups recently began meeting.  Please see the paper bulletin for more information on times and places!

Sunday Worship and Holy Eucharist Both the 8am and the 10:30 services are meeting in person.

The 8am service If you are high risk, or at all nervous to be in social gatherings, this service is designed for you. All those who attend are asked to remain socially distanced throughout the service. The 8am service is not currently being live-streamed.

The 10:30am service You can download a PDF copy of the service bulletin here.

You’ll also notice that there are links in the offertory section to take you out to two different means of giving electronically. You can give online through Breeze or you can text a donation through Breeze at 607-882-6551. Good Shepherd also has a PayPal account. If you choose to give via PayPal you can avoid fees by paying directly from your bank. As always, thank you for your great generosity and kind support.

Shepherd’s Bowl Community Dinner A Community Dinner is served every Thursday evening at 5:30pm in the parish hall, a fresh tasty meal served by cheerful volunteers. This is a welcoming, friendly atmosphere for church and community members to come and enjoy, regardless of income. Terry Ray leads a beginners Bible study at 6:00 and anyone is welcome to attend. Please find our page on Facebook, Shepherd’s Bowl Free Community Meal, and follow, like and share posts, and invite friends. It all helps! As we try to regrow our attendance, we especially invite church members to come and eat and help welcome visitors. We are also in need of volunteers. If you’d like to join a team, can be available as a sub, or are even interested in being a cook, contact Martha Rice or Mary Schuster.
