The Central States Synod Assembly is being held in St. Louis, June 5-8th at the Renaissance Hotel. To assist the Office of the Bishop, Good Shepherd will be putting together 600 binders for the meetings. Central States Synod in Kansas City will make sure our office has the binders, dividers, paper and the original documents which need to be copied, collated and filed. We are looking for a group of volunteers to assist in this process. We have the entire week of May 19-23 to complete this process. If you are interested in helping out, please call the church office and let Julie or Brenda know. Thanks!

A family in Eureka, Missouri has lost their home due to the recent flooding. The home is able to be restored so that they can move in again, which they hope to do soon so that their grandmother can return home there. The grandmother is receiving hospice services and is currently staying with a disabled daughter in the city of St. Louis. If anyone is interested in helping rehab this historic home in Eureka, please contact the Chruch office.
