Altar Care Team
(Time commitment: About once a week; alternating months.)
Members of Good Shepherd’s altar care team encourage anyone interested
in serving the church “behind the scenes” to consider the altar care ministry. Altar care people change altar cloths and banners, and fill candles,
as needed. Currently, members alternate months of service. For details, visit with Bobette Bertsch, Kathi Jacobson or Sandy Maki.
Country Store
(Time commitment: A couple of hours
one Tuesday each month, or sub when you are available.)
Volunteers work in the store a couple of hours each
month on a Tuesday. The store, an ecumenical venture, offers second-hand merchandise, with proceeds benefiting local groups.
Contact Norma Knutson at 883-5864.
Fair Trade Coffee & Tea
(Time commitment: Occasional help promoting and selling items at street fairs.)
We stock & sell a variety of Fair Trade Coffee and Tea at the church. All packages are sold at cost,
and benefit farmers in Third World Countries by providing a more direct route for sale of their products. For details, call
Penny Jarecki at 883-2248.
Prayer Shawl Ministry
(Time commitment: Whenever you have time to knit!)
The Prayer Shawl Ministry creates and delivers shawls to
people in need of comforting. If you know of someone who is sick, grieving or in special need of prayers and love in our community,
let us know. Or, if you are a knitter, we have yarn and instructions available so that you can help make these beautiful shawls!
For more information, call Lora Pearson at 849-6031.
Quilters (but not just for quilters!)
(Time commitment: Any Monday morning you're available to
help.)
This past year, Good Shepherd’s quilters completed 271 quilts
for Lutheran World Relief. They're on a break now for the summer, but starting the first Monday after
Labor Day, they will meet on Mondays, 9 a.m.-noon, to prepare another shipment of quilts for Lutheran World
Relief. Anyone can help with the quilts -- no sewing experience is required. For details, call the church office at 883-5864.
Food Pantry
The Polson Loaves & Fish Food Pantry
recently moved into new quarters and welcomes volunteers to help serve clients. The Pantry is open Tuesdays and Fridays, 10
a.m.-2 p.m. For details, visit with board member Sid Rundell at 849-5053.
