Worship resources for this week
Each week we give you links to virtual worship, a copy of the order of worship, and information about in-person and virtual activities. Resources for Sunday worship are usually updated on Saturday. Archive of past worship resources posts.
NOTE: If you are viewing this on your phone and cannot see the whole message below, turn on autorotate on your phone and turn the phone sideways to landscape mode, which should make it readable. We hope to fix this issue with the integration between our emails and the website.

July Compassion Offering:
The Good Shepherd Lutheran Church (GSLS) Food Pantry
Good Shepherd Lutheran Church (GSLC) offers a weekly food pantry serving the Orchard Ridge neighborhood and surrounding areas. Located at 5701 Raymond Road in Meadowood, the GSLC pantry currently serves up to 75 eligible individuals and families every Thursday. Rick Thomas, GSLC Outreach Director, reports that local pantries continue to see reduced food availability from Second Harvest due to high demand and threatened reductions in federal funding. Donations from the July 2025 compassion offering will go toward purchase of food items and essentials that best meet the needs of food pantry clients.
Simply stated, this mission eases suffering and addresses basic human needs at the local level.
In addition to giving generously this month, here are additional ways that you can help:
● Food, paper goods or personal items are also accepted year-round at the GSLC Donation Room during weekday hours.
● Volunteer at the GSLC Food Pantry: Assist with registration, act as a host or help with stocking the shelves. Thursdays, 9:30am-Noon or 5:30pm-7pm. Familiarity with languages is a bonus, such as Spanish, Middle Eastern dialects, others.
● Volunteer your time in the ORUCC Veggie Village garden where we tend and harvest fresh vegetables for the GSLC food pantry.
