There’s always something happening at Good Shepherd.

Join us as we help pack meals for the children and families of Lancaster County. The Power Packs Project is located at 1915 Olde Homestead Lane, Suite 102 in Lancaster. Please sign up on the Feeding Ministry bulletin board in the hallway.

We know what a special place a pet can occupy in a household. Join Pastor Margaret Rohnacher in the parking lot with your pets to receive a blessing.

What can you do with water, nail polish and mini pumpkins? Make Dip and Swirl Decorative Pumpkins, of course! Join us on Wednesday, October 9th at 6:30 p.m. for some pumpkin fun! Bring rubber gloves and your creative spirit. We will dip and swirl our pumpkins into works of art. Markers and other decorative touches will also be supplied for those who prefer more traditionally embellished pumpkins. We will start this project immediately after the pet blessing. Note: Pet blessing is also happening after the service that night.

You are in for a special treat as we welcome American choral conductor, organist, tenor singer, vocal coach, piano instructor, and composer, Mark Mummert back to our choir loft. A one time cantor at Good Shepherd, Mark is a composer of portions of the first musical setting of Holy Communion in Evangelical Lutheran Worship (2006), the commended worship book of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Prepare for a musical night to remember.

Halloween Bingo, October 27th, All Saints Hall after church service. Bring your friends, bring your family. Bring a treat to donate for a bingo prize. (Candy bar, cookies, any kind of treat.) Enjoy some fun fellowship and some spooky food. This is not a Trick! It will be a Treat to see you!

Collected each Sunday during September and October, all Bushels of Love donations will go directly toward our two “Thanksgiving with Good Shepherd” events. There is a sign-up table in the narthex for the items needing donated and envelopes marked “Thanksgiving” for those wishing to make a monetary donation.

Join Senior Shepherds and David Manuel as he shares the fascinating story about John “Doc” Holliday’s metamorphosis into the legend of the old West.

Cans, Boxes, Pouches, and Bags—Oh My! Join the Feeding Ministry after the church service on Sunday, November 24 for a Turkey Box Packing Party in All Saints Hall. We’ll work together to pack the 115 Turkey Dinner Boxes for pick-up the next day-Turkey Box Monday. Join the packing party for a half hour, an hour-or as long as you are able. All hands are welcome. Subs and drinks will be available.

We are again providing a FREE ready-to-cook Thanksgiving meal the week of Thanksgiving. However, this year it will be Monday, not Tuesday. As before, a reserved meal can be picked up in the parking lot at the rear of the church. Watch for details closer to time to learn how you can reserve a meal.

Come enjoy a FREE Thanksgiving feast! Join us again this year in All Saints Hall as we enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving meal in the company of friends, family and community. All are welcome!

This December we welcome back QuintEssentially Brass, a Good Shepherd favorite. Join us as we celebrate the holidays with this festive concert and seasonal readings — all sure to put us into the Christmas spirit.

We will use old hymnals to make hymnal angels or hymnal Christmas trees. These cute Christmas decorations can adorn your house for the season.

Join the Growing In Christ Group in the Shepherd’s Crook Café & Martin Luther room for a Christmas Tea gathering for all. We will serve tea & scones & have conversations and devotional thoughts around the Nativity scriptures. We are requesting that those attending bring their own tea cup.

Be part of all the holiday festivities as Senior Shepherds celebrate Christmas with fun and fellowship!

Come enjoy the “sweet” sounds of Temple Avenue this February as this fun and lively jazz quintet sets the tone for a memorable Valentine’s weekend celebration.

Celebrating their 21st season, the Lancaster British Brass Band continues to “wow” audiences of young and old alike. Their unique sound, being composed entirely of brass winds and percussion instruments, has been compared to “one big, magnificent pipe organ.” Come and experience it for yourself!
