Synod Assembly Recap
This past weekend, Leslie, Blaine, and Pastor Aleese gathered with about 225 other voting members across the Southeastern Iowa Synod under the theme “Spirit, Open Our Hearts.” Together, we worshipped, heard reports from within the synod and across the church, and voted on synod budget, minimum compensation guidelines, and constitutional updates. Later this June we will be sharing more with you about how various updates in the synod impact us right here in Muscatine!
Outdoor Property Clean Up
Thank you to all who stuck around to help outside after worship on Sunday! We appreciate you! Together, we were able to get Easter bulbs in the ground, pick up some sticks, and clean some windows! (Not all faces and hands who helped are pictured!) Still willing to help? We’ll be sharing a list of odd jobs that need attention. Take a look and come into the church at a time that fits your schedule!
Thrivent Action Teams
Are you a Thrivent member? Throughout the year, we utilize member’s “action teams” to help fund various projects, events, and meals. If you’re willing to share one of your action teams with Shepherd, contact Colleen Bentz.
