GSLS Script Update

Good Shepherd Script Program: Good Shepherd Lutheran School is looking for someone(s) who is willing to lead our script program. Our current leadership has directed the program for many years and they are looking to help new directors take over. The script program has been an important resource that has provided funds to help support many of our educational programs. The script is also a way that families can defray some of the costs associated with attending Good Shepherd. If you are willing to help with this important program please call Dan Rees at 347-2020 or contact him by email at drees@goodshepherdpekin.com. Thank you!

SUNDAY SCHOOL, A DIFFERENT LOOK: For the time being in-person classes for preschool thru 5th grade will not be held. Currently we have our at-home Sunday School program. You and your child(ren) will be able to check out a video (each week) from a selection available in the Welcome Center. Our goal is that together you can enjoy the video and afterwards have a family discussion. Coloring and activity pagers will also be available along with an occasional craft to do at home. To encourage the kids to keep learning about God at home, there will be an incentive program based on the number of videos watched. Details are included in the “Welcome Back” bags.
