Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Minier to observe Armed Forces Sunday

[April 25, 2016]  The Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Minier will be celebrating with grateful hearts all who have, and continue to, serve our country with an Armed Forces Sunday on May 1st.

The congregation is inviting the community to help in honoring our military by wearing patriotic clothing. Those who have served in the past are also asked to wear their uniforms if possible.

After the church service, a special presentation will honor current and past members of the military who are also members at Good Shepherd Lutheran.

Lunch will be provided, and a RSVP is requested to ensure there is enough food for everyone.

Information will be available about the Land of Lincoln Honor Flight program.

Good Shepherd Lutheran Church has partnered with Operation Gratitude for a collection drive to send items to troops overseas. Items we are collecting are socks (not white), lip balm, non-aerosol deodorant, moist towelettes (individual packets), hand and foot warmers, individually packaged razors, pen, and pocket-sized water resistant notebooks.

The church service starts at 8:30 a.m. at the church located at 101 E Garfield.

RSVP and Questions: (309)-264-9268
