Prayer Focus | May 2013

2nd Monday is one day, specifically set apart each month, to slow down from our daily routine to seek God more intentionally. This posture of prayer, fasting, and worship has found its way into our monthly rhythm since Winter 2010 and is a day not to be missed. Together, we strive to set aside our busy-ness and passionately seek Him for our lives, our church, our friends, families and our communities.

Before you start the day, during your breaks, in-between classes or appointments, while the kids are at school, and to end the day…

Pray. Fast. Seek God.

Easter 2013

Make plans to join us Easter weekend, and don’t come alone! We hope that you already have a few family members, coworkers, or friends in mind to invite to be with us here at GSC. As you’re making plans this week, here are the Easter events happening:

Good Friday // March 29 // 7:00 p.m.

Join us Good Friday for a very experience focused time. Rather than a traditional service we setting up several stations around the church that will give you an opportunity to personally interact with just what the cross of Jesus afforded, and provided for you. This time has the potential to be one of your most meaningful Good Friday experiences ever!

*Children’s Ministry available for kids in preschool and younger

Easter Sunday // March 31 // 9:00 & 11:00 a.m.

Easter Sunday will give you the opportunity to celebrate The Resurrection of Jesus Christ. One of the greatest proofs of the truth of the resurrection is a changed life and this Easter you will hear a story of two different lives that not only impacted each other, but that were both also radically impacted and changed by the power of God! You’ll hear a story of how God’s goodness and grace brought healing from and victory over anger, unforgiveness, guilt, shame, and addictive behaviors. It will be one of the most powerful testimonies you have ever heard!

Baptisms | Easter Sunday

We are so thrilled that you are thinking about getting baptized at Good Shepherd Church! God is at work in your life and you’ve made a remarkable choice. You have made a choice to follow Jesus. At our church, this is something to celebrate.

On Easter Sunday, March 31, Good Shepherd Church will be baptizing any adults, teens, and kids who are ready to announce their faith in Jesus. Baptism is your big moment to tell the world that Jesus has saved you, changed you, and will always be the Lord of your life.

Before you step into the water, we have three simple steps to help you prepare.

  1. Fill out the application below. This application must be turned in by March 13.
  2. Listen to Pastor Kent’s message on the meaning of baptism.
  3. Attend our baptism prep meeting scheduled for March 17 at 11 a.m. We’ve got some great conversations planned for this time. Be ready to talk about what God has been doing in your life. We will also walk through the baptism service and answer any remaining questions.

We hope that your baptism will be an unforgettable experience. Do not hesitate to contact Pastor Bryan Vincent, or any other staff member, if you have any questions.

Your Name (required)

Your Email (required)

Address (City, State, Zip)

Phone

Briefly share when and how you came to to follow Jesus (include important dates, people, and experiences)

How is your life changing now that you have decided to follow Jesus? It could be differences at home, work, or with your friends. Just think about it and put it in your own words.

Why do you want to get baptized? Have you been baptized before? Please explain.

Think about who you want to baptize you. Pick someone special who has helped you to move closer to Jesus. It could be a friend, a pastor, a small group leader, or your mom or dad. This person needs to be a follower of Christ and they will need to attend the baptism prep meeting.

I would like to invite _________________________ to baptize me.

You may also choose to have a water witness with you in the pool. This person (or couple of people) will stand by your side as you are being baptized. Water witnesses do not need to attend the baptism prep meeting.

I would like to invite_______________________________to stand with me in baptism.

Summer 2013

GO BIG | June 17-21, 2013

Last summer we decided to break away from the normal VBS format and as a church we decided to GO into our neighborhoods and invite kids and their families into God’s Big Story. This summer we will GO BIG. It’s an exciting week where our kids and the kids in our neighborhoods will be able to connect with God, their friends, and caring adults in a safe environment. There are many different ways everyone can be involved.

Come to the interest meeting on March 10 at 11 a.m. to find out more about this big opportunity.

Serve Loveland | August 18, 2013

Faith in Action is coming Sunday, August 18. If you haven’t been around, this is a day that we cancel church and work in the community to show the love of Jesus! We’ll be serving Mary Blair Elementary, Stansberry Elementary and Conrad Ball Middle School.

We’re gearing up for this great day and we’ll need project managers and some additional administrative help. Interested in helping a bit more this year? Send Pastor Robin a quick email or phone call, robinp@gschurch.tv, 669.3675 x 286.

Lighthouse Ready

It is no secret that our world today is unpredictable.  We don’t like to think about the bad things that could happen in our community–like natural disasters, epidemics, or military conflicts–but they are all very real and possible threats to our families.

Learn to Be Crisis Ready

At GSC we think that these threats are not something to fear, but that they are something to prepare for, which is why we want to invite you to a special workshop on how to become Crisis Ready.  In this workshop you will learn not only what you need to have in case of an emergency, but also how we can become God’s tangible arm of comfort and shelter to a fearful community in the face of crisis.

Our Next Free Workshop

This special workshop is free to attend, and will be offered at the date and time below right here at Good Shepherd church:

  • Saturday, April 6th: 9-11AM

Click here for a map to our location.

Lighthouse Ready

For this workshop we’ve partnered with an organization called Lighthouse Ready.  Lighthouse Ready’s staff has years of professional experience in disaster and emergency response, and their mission is prepare families, communities and churches across the country to be equipped to handle crisis.  They will teach all of us about the 7 Crisis Essentials, and steps we can take to prepare.

For more information about Lighthouse Ready, please visit their website here.
