EVENTS
Good Shepherd Knitting Group
The Good Shepherd Knitting Group continues on first Tuesdays! The July get-together will be on Tuesday, July 6 at 6:00 PM in the Common Room. You can bring your current knitting, any finished knitting projects you’d like to show off, and any patterns/books you’d like to share. Anyone is welcome to bring dinner to eat, a snack to share, or nothing at all! For more information, contact Mary Lee.
20/30’s GROUP ORGANIZATION MEETING
Last May we invited you to dinner and a discussion of what the Church of the Good Shepherd can do to better meet your spiritual needs. Out of those discussions came a definite interest in seeing a 20/30’s age group form.

Please join us on July 11 after the 10:15 service to move forward in organizing this group. We will be brainstorming future activities, as well as discussing leadership roles. For more information, please calll Anthony Lee
YOGA
Get out your mats. Get ready to get fit and limber. Many people think that yoga is just stretching. While stretching is certainly involved, yoga is really about creating balance in the body through developing both strength & flexibility.
Sessions are Monday and Friday. Both classes go from 5:30 to 6:30 pm. The cost is $35 per session or $10 per class. All are welcome—boys, women, girls and men. For more information, contact Jacquie Wood.
CAMPING
The annual Good Shepherd campout at Pomme de Terre Lake will happen on July 10th and 11th. Make reservations by going to www.recreation.gov or call the toll-free number: 877-444-6777. Look for Nemo’s Landing and reserve sites 60—65 and 98—103, which are close to bathroom and shower facilities—$16.00 per night with a two night minimum. Campsites do have electricity and water is available at the restroom facilities. Reservations should be made as soon as possible, as they fill up quickly. There are also motels nearby for those non-camper types: The Eagle’s Nest (417-852-4301) or The Clearlight Inn (417-745-2500). We will have a communal supper on Saturday evening, so bring a dish to share.
Contact Phil or Daniela Graham for assistance or other information
PEACE FOR THE HOLY LAND: A CHRISTIAN VIEW
David Wildman, Executive Secretary for Human Rights and Racial Justice at the General Board of Global Ministries of the United Methodist Church, New York City, and co-author of Ending the US War in Afghanistan: A Primer, will speak at Broadway United Methodist Church, 406 West 74th Street, Kansas City, Missouri, on Thursday evening, July 22, at 7 pm. The title of his talk is "Peace for the Holy Land: A Christian View." The event is free and open to the public, and is a rare opportunity to learn more about a conflict that ultimately affects us all.
JOIN THE BOOK CLUB!

Join the Book Club! The Good Shepherd Book Club announces its new list of books and invites all to join us. Call Judy Kile for more information. We generally meet in each others home on the third Tuesday evenings; light refreshments are served by the host.

Church of the Good Shepherd Book Club 2010
This year’s schedule:
July 20 - My Name is Red by Orhan Pamuk
August 17 - Planning for 2010-2011



Reoccurring Events :

Go for the Guild
The Service Guild is very much in need of new members. As you may have read in the annual report, we provide the bereavement lunches and the Bishops Reception.
Even though we get help for additional prepared food from our list of non-members helpers (which we really appreciate), we need additional assistance in planning, shopping, setting up, and cleaning. A few of our members are 80 plus years of age and some of us are limited physically. We meet the first Tuesday of each month. I know many in the parish have two and three jobs that they are already doing in the church. If the Service Guild is going to continue as an organized service in the church, we need new members!
Contact Linda or Gayle for more information.
