Good Samaritan Lutheran Church (Giving - Sharing - Loving - Caring)
Mission Statement: Transforming lives and empowering people through Christ’s love. Up Coming Sermon Series:
Ever wished you could fix a thing or two about yourself? Well, good news— God isn’t finished with you yet! In fact, God is still working on all of us, to help us become more and more the people we were created to be. (continued on pg. 3)
As most of you are aware, Pastor Collette’s last day with us will be Sunday, September 1st. We will be hosting a reception in the courtyard for Pastor Collette between services on September 1st to celebrate her two years of ministry with us. Please keep her in your prayers and thoughts, and if she has touched your heart in any way be sure to set aside some time to thank her and let her know she will be missed. We wish Pastor Collette God’s guidance and strength as she moves on to the next phase of her life’s journey. May God be with Pastor Collette and with the congregation of Good Samaritan during this time of transition.
