The Story GOOD SHEPHERD LUTHER AN CHURCH ABERDEEN, SD (605)229-0846 JANUARY 2015 Making Our Love and Mission Visible Lighting Up January Christmas now is past. Spring seems so far off. But the days are slowly growing longer now. One way to lighten up dark days is to create time for friends and a time to enjoy an interest that brings pleasure to life. Your church family can help lighten up dark days of winter. We are exploring the establishment of several new small groups. Many interests are addressed. Curious and interested in learning something new with fun people? You can join with a group of people who have similar passions and interests. 1. Learn about brain fitness: Explore games and fun strategies to stimulate your brain into the future. 2. Want to make better use of that digital camera sitting on the back shelf of your closet? There is a group joining together to take better pictures. 3. Is there a book somewhere inside of you? We will have a small group of writers led by novelist Angelia Schultz. Check out her novel, The Nameless, for eBooks on Amazon! 4. What’s it like to travel around the Holy Land and see the places Jesus walked? Yes, we have a group for that! 5. 6.

Do you want to feel the satisfaction of making a difference in the life of another through service? Become part of the Men in Mission group for men and teens. Want to find peace and meaning in life? There will be a small group on spiritual life and growth. A great way to bring sunshine into January is Mediterranean Cooking. This group will come together for potluck meals and then watch cooking videos made at The Culinary Institute of America from Napa Valley, California. High quality videos will be used with the spirituality group, the photography group, the brain fitness group, and the Mediterranean cooking group. Yes, we want these groups to be of a high quality but the best part of all will be the people gathered together. Sign-up sheets are available at church. Groups will typically run through May although some may want to continue for a longer period of time. Will we end up having all of these groups? It depends on people signing up. It’s important to let us know your interest and days and schedule to be a part of one or more of these groups. So indicate your interest and bring along a friend or two. As you invite friends you become part of the sunshine in the dark days of January. PAGE 2 Little Lambs Preschool 2015-2016 Registration We are accepting registrations for the 2015-2016 school year. I will be at a table in the fellowship hall on Sunday, January 25th, between services, to accept registrations from Good Shepherd Maggie Bruns, Director/Teacher Happy New Year! It’s hard to believe our school year is half over already! We started out December by making little preschool elves, angels, light bulbs, and much more Christmas art. We had an advent calendar in our classroom that helped us to understand the story of Jesus' birth along with books, songs, and a Nativity scene. After spending a few weeks practicing our Christmas songs we had a concert for our friends and family. The children did an amazing job and everyone seemed to have a great time. We had a visit from Santa Claus where the children received a special present. They were very excited! members. There will also be an open house/registration on Monday, February 2nd from 5-6pm. This is open to anyone interested in having their child attend Little Lambs.

PAGE 3 PAGE 3 Youth page Thank you!! Thank you to everyone who helped to make “The Christmas Check List” Program a wonderful experience for both the youth and the congregation. It was really great to “check” things off the list as we get ready for Christmas. It was an amazing day and a beautiful sight to see all of the kids smiling and singing their hearts out. Thank you to all of the Sunday and Wednesday School Teachers: Jill Vining, Emma Getty, Ann Langbehn, Heather Scheidt, Mia Bergan, Jean Black, Patricia Kendall, Chris and Connie Getty, Lisa Anderson, Lori Tiede, Sarah Black, Becky Sudenga, Morgan Johnson, Karla Mehlhoff, Sydna Odland, Amy Nilson, Christen Salfrank, Amy Wright, Hope Metzger, and Nancy Rall for all your help with this program! Also, I would like to say a special thank you to Gina Malchow and Alicia Peterson for their leadership with the music for the program and the entire year! We couldn’t do this without you. Also, thank you to Helen Heuer for her beautiful piano playing during the service. It was wonderful! The Youth Team and I would like to thank the entire congregation for all that you have done and continue to do to support our youth! It is a wonderful thing to see. Blessings!! Pastor Liz and the Youth Team-Sarah Black, Cody Folden, Jon Miller and Charlie Sersen BIG CHANGE FOR HIGH SCHOOL YOUTH GROUP! With the new year brings new changes for the High School Youth Group! We will be transitioning to meeting every week here at Good Shepherd. And we are changing the time to 7:00pm-9:00pm the youth room will be open starting at 6:30pm with snacks and food. Here is what we have planned: January 11th Hang out night th January 18 Jam Session/”Camp fire” th January 25 Bowling or Movie Night Camp Registration It seems hard to believe but registration for camp through Lutherans Outdoors in South Dakota has begun!! We have amazing camps and opportunities here in South Dakota. Pastor Tim will be taking a group to Confirmation camp June 7th-12th. For those in Confirmation, just a reminder it is a requirement to attend one camp during your years of Confirmation. Please take a look at their website www.losd.org and get ready for a fun summer at camp!! Questions or concerns, please talk to Pastor Liz or a member of the Youth Team. Church School Notes There will be no Wednesday School on December 24, December 31, or January 7. Wednesday School resumes on January 14. There will be no Sunday school on December 28 or January 4. Sunday School resumes on January 11. Activity Cancellations due to Severe Weather will be announced on Hub City Radio stations (FM: 94.1, 97.7, 103.7, 106.7; AM: 930, 1420) and Dakota Broadcasting stations (FM: 105.5 and 107.7), as well as the KELOLAND.com Closeline. Please listen to any of these radio stations or check online if you have questions about any church activities being held. If the Aberdeen Schools call off school or let out early on a Wednesday, that would also mean there would be NO Wednesday activities at the church in the afternoon or evening and the church office is closed. PAGE 4 Und ein Gutes Neues Jahr! (my German is rusty, but not the wish for 2015!!) As we celebrate the wonders of God with us and of a year ahead in which God can lead us together to be his people, we sense a clear call to work together as his people in Good Shepherd church. There has been quiet planning and prayerful hoping that we can strengthen and increase our growing youth and family life. Over the past year, Pastor Liz has carried the major role with helpers to grow our youth Church Schools programs. For 3 years we have remembered the action of the annual meeting in which the request was made that the position of Youth Ministry be filled with a regular staff member. We are indebted to Pastor Liz for building that program along with all of her additional pastoral duties and in 2015 the congregation is now being challenged to support a Youth & Family Ministries Coordinator. This step should allow several things to develop in our family-focused congregation. First, the careful and steady guidance of our twice-weekly Christian Education programs on Sunday morning and Wednesday evenings will be solidly led by an administrator who will support the host of volunteer leaders we are so fortunate to have. Second, the time for close ties between Pastor Liz and her Youth TEAM and our high school youth can be deepened because much background work will be done by the Youth & Family Coordinator. Third, reaching out to and relating to many parents who want their children to have a vital faith, but have often been only marginally involved in church, offer a serious ministry of Good Shepherd Church. Ours is a time when parents and children live very busy lives. The church and the faith journey can be an important part of those busy lives IF WE CARE ENOUGH TO SEEK AND LISTEN TO THEIR NEEDS. If family crises and turmoil, when they happen, can be balanced with growing faith shared among our people, we can see satisfying and wonderful days ahead. We enter 2015 in solid financial condition, a mortgage under control, a physical plant that is attractive and inviting, some reserve funds, and a spirit of friendly warmth among most folks in the congregation. NOW IS THE TIME to pray and plan together for a new chapter in our life as God’s folks here. The 2015 budget will ask us all to consider our current support for the ministries of Good Shepherd and to commit a bit more if we can in order to grow our Youth & Family program. This is a valuable core ministry and if every family will help just a bit, we can see an exciting new chapter in the faith life of Good Shepherd develop. Will YOU join in this serious step forward for our church? Sunday, January 11 a discussion will be offered between services about the new Youth and Family Ministry program. Join us, won’t you?

Annual Meeting: January 18, 2015 PAGE 5 Don’t miss this year’s annual meeting as we launch the direction of the church for the year to come. We are very excited to present plans for a much extended Youth and Family Ministry program for 2015. Ministry opportunities will be expanded to all ages. We will also provide inspiration and resources for faith to be shared in our homes and our church. We are proposing hiring a person who will lay the foundation for ministry that will be implemented by our pastors, volunteers, and within our families. This person will be the Good Shepherd Youth and Family Ministry Coordinator. We are eager and ready to grow in loving God through faith sharing that takes place in our own homes. The time is now to build relationships and friendships in our congregation as people bond together around our shared love of God. New youth groups are being planned for elementary aged children and their families and even a plan to engage teens and their families in the last two years of high school in faith formation. As we’ve moved from one to two pastors the ministry events of Good Shepherd have grown. Now we at the start of expanding these ministries even more. We have big dreams as we grow in loving God. Bells-Facts & Trivia 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Why do handbell ringers wear gloves when playing bells? What is used on the bell tables to protect the bells from damage and to keep them from rolling off the table? How is the volume adjusted on the bells? (besides ringing with stronger force & motion) Who made (sewed) the first black corduroy covers for the bell tables in the sanctuary? (They were replaced four years ago, and now are used for rehearsals in the Bell Room.) How do ringers know which side of the bell to pick up? Does it matter? Over the last twenty years, what Good Shepherd “family” has had the most members in our various bell choirs? (answers on Page 9) Getting the Big Picture: Taking in the World Sharing the love of God around the world is an active and exciting process in the church. Would you like to be involved? You can be a Mission Interpreter. You will be in direct communication with the ministry of mission to the world. Mission interpreters will be informed and in communication with what is going on in global mission and will be entrusted to share these exciting stories with the congregation as we in our church cross boundaries. On January 17 at Good Shepherd the South Dakota Synod will gather mission interpreters together from area churches at Good Shepherd. This gather begins at 10:00am and ends around noon. This is a significant opportunity for those who are excited for the power of faith and the love of God to bring people together from all over the world. PAGE 6 Wednesday Meals No Wednesday School on December 17, but kids started showing up at church anyway. “What’s for supper?” So we went into the kitchen to see for ourselves. There were the makings for a salad. There was an unopened package of French fries in the freezer. Pastor Liz took off to get hotdogs and buns. Pastor Tim went into the kitchen to make supper with kids. They got right to work. Paige Haugen and Kaitlyn started up the oven and began the process for French fries. A pot of water was put on for the hot dogs. The kids opened the package of greens and mixed in purple cabbage and shredded carrots. Leftovers were pulled out from the previous Sunday’s Angel Brunch. We attempted to mix up drinks which didn’t turn out just right. There was a little too much water compared to the mix. The meal wasn’t perfect, but the kids dug into it with enthusiasm. We even did the clean up by hand without the dishwasher, because we had forgotten to warm the water. Haylee Mork arrived after the clean up had begun and got a yummy supper of French fries and potato chips! But she cheerfully ate that supper as well. When all was said, done and eaten, it was a God sighting. Wednesday meals start up again on January 14 when Wednesday School, Confirmation, and Wednesday worship resume. Come and be a part of it. We begin the preparation of food around 3:00pm to be ready to serve by 4:45-6:00pm. Clean up begins soon after the first dishes are brought back to the counter. We invite you to join us for the meal. You are welcome to help with the preparation and with the clean up. Donations are accepted. The recommended amount is $2.00, but no one is turned away. Music at Good Shepherd Curt Eisenbeisz and Susan Landon-Arnold have retired and are enjoying a time of travel and adventure. They have been a huge gift to this church in developing a first-class praise band. On Sunday, January 18 bring a card of gratitude for the contribution that Curt Eisenbeisz has made in leadership of the Praise Band and thanks to Susan Landon-Arnold for her participation and support in the band. We’ll gather those cards up and send them to them. In the meantime, we are encouraging new leadership and support for the important praise band ministry in our church. Also, we are pleased to welcome a new music coordinator, Rachel Hemke, to the staff of Good Shepherd. Rachel takes over from Nancy Ohnstad who did so much to encourage participation in music in our worship during her time as our coordinator. Rachel is also committed to bring people into the worship setting to share their musical gifts. Beginning in January we will recognize a different music person or group per week who add life to the worship at Good Shepherd. This recognition will take place on Sunday mornings in in words of appreciation, in the bulletin and in the prayers. New Member Sunday, January 18 We will welcome new members into our community on Sunday, January 18. This will be a special day in which we have our Annual meeting that launches us in our direction for a new year. We will have a New Member Orientation on Saturday morning, January 10, from 9:00 to 11:30. If you are interested in membership or know of someone else who is please give Pastor Liz or Pastor Tim a call.

The Time is Now to Sign Up for the St. Dysmas Trip What a great experience it is to travel twice a year to St. Dysmas Prison Ministry at the South Dakota Penitentiary. We will leave around 12:15 on Thursday, January 22 and drive to Sioux Falls. Arriving at Sioux Falls we go out to eat together and enjoy the meal and fellowship. We each pay for our own meal. Then we go to the South Dakota Penitentiary and to worship with the St. Dysmas Prison Congregation. There are strict rules governing our safety while we are there and the Pastor Marlin, when he was there, would always tell groups arriving that they were safer there than out on the street. After we leave there remain strict rules that limit communication between prisoners and visitors as well. It’s traditional on the way home to stop for pie in Watertown and to further enjoy the time that we have together. We arrive late back in Aberdeen, sometime around midnight to 1:00am. Yes, this is a full day but one that will touch you and you will never forget. Before we go, we need to be cleared to enter the facility through paperwork that is filled out a couple of weeks before hand. This requires planning ahead. You can’t simply go at the last minute. Of course it happens sometimes that people fill out the paper work and have something come up that makes it impossible for them to go. This is truly a trip in which we cross boundaries to experience and share our love of God. Crossing Boundaries Sunday The love of God leads us to cross boundaries. Christ goes ahead of us and walking with Christ we come to places we’ve never been and meet people who we otherwise would never have met. Already in this newsletter are stories and opportunities for us to cross boundaries for Global Mission through the Mission Interpreters and the St. Dysmas Prison trip. On Sunday, January 25, we read of how Jesus crossed boundaries as he went from his baptism near Jerusalem. Jesus traveled north into Galilee and began to call his disciples. How far can we go? This Sunday we will have guests in the church from CMA, the Christian Motorcycle Association. Bruce “Moses” Greenhalgh will tell us stories of how this organization crosses borders throughout the world to reach a group of people, some of whom are unlikely to darken the door of a church without an invitation. Good Shepherd members Bruce and Mona Greenhalgh and Dale Powers are part of CMA in Aberdeen and would like to welcome others of you into this organization on the move for the love of Jesus Christ. MISSION OF THE MONTH Individuals, couples, are you looking for a volunteer opportunity at Good Shepherd? Consider joining the Altar Guild—yes, men can join! We train you and we always work as a team so you won't have to work alone. We generally sign up for one month during the year, but you can volunteer throughout the year whenever you have time. Our job consists primarily of filling the altar candles, preparing communion, changing paraments when needed, and dusting and vacuuming the altar. If you are interested in finding out more about Altar Guild, call Sandy Cahoy at 228-9092, or any of the other members, or stop in at our meeting the 3rd Sunday of each month at 9:40 a.m. in the church library. The Mission of the Month offering is received on the 2nd and 4th Sunday and Wednesday with our “Noisy Offering” by passing the bread pans. In December, $333.44 was donated to the Pastor’s Discretionary Fund.

It's because the perspiration from your hands has acids in it that tarnish and eat away at the brass of the bells. In order to keep them shiny and sounding good, bell ringers should wear gloves at all times when handling them. 2. Dense foam. It needs to be a minimum of two inches thick. All of our tables have foam that is four inches high and covers the entire table. 3. Our Malmark bells have adjustable clappers that each have three different settings: Soft, Medium, & Hard. 4.
