Good Shepherd Lutheran Church

We all know that Advent is a time to prepare. There’s no end to the voices around us these days reminding us of that. But the voice in our gospel reading today may be the strangest. It’s not calling us to buy something, or bake something, or send something. It’s calling us to take on some landscaping work. And how is that good news? Join us.

On this first Sunday of the new church year Jesus’s words in our gospel reading today have more to say about endings than beginnings. Or maybe they are just the words that people like us, living in-between the beginning and the end need to hear? Advent is calling! Let us enter with hope and anticipation.

Today we celebrate Christ the King. We have a special guest with us this week. Carolyn Klaassen is an Indigenous theologian and leader here in the BC Synod.

She will also join in leading worship, introducing traditional Indigenous elements to our liturgy.

What is a saint? “Saint” is just another name for a baptized child of God. If you’ve been baptized, you’re a saint! You don’t have to do anything to earn the name or prove you deserve it. So today we give thanks for God’s promise in baptism that makes us saints, and for all those saints we have known and loved and who now rest in God’s loving an eternal care. And we hear a story about what that eternal and loving care means.

Forgetfulness is something most of us try hard to avoid. But when is being forgetful the best news we could ever hear? Join us on this Reformation Sunday as we celebrate the good news Martin Luther rediscovered for the church of Jesus Christ…and a few of our youth affirming their baptisms to boot!

Life’s a journey. We’ve all heard that. And Jesus travels with us all along. But can we hear him? Maybe thats a matter of learning to recognize his voice. Today we hear our youth speak about their journey with Jesus this past summer and hear a sermon from our retiring bishop Greg Mohr that can help us with that learning.

What do baptism, happy beaches, and giving praise have in common? They’re all part of our worship on this “Praise Appeal Sunday”. Join us as we enjoy a day full or water, promises, wonderful music, and an opportunity to be generous.

We are blessed to have The Springmans provide music for our service!

When we think about champions in the fight against climate change we usually think first of scientists and activists. We probably don’t think often of poets. Maybe then, on this Sunday that we celebrate the feast of St. Francis of Assissi, who wrote one of the most famous hymns to creation, we need to think twice about the power of poetry. Join us in that reflection on Fifth and final Sunday in the Season of Creation.
