Christ Our Shepherd holds special service to launch capital funds drive

On Sunday, Oct. 24, the congregation of Christ Our Shepherd Lutheran Church celebrated at a Festival Worship Service held at Starr’s Mill High School. This was the first time in many years that the congregation of Christ Our Shepherd had been able to worship together in one worship service. Because of a lack of space at its present site, the congregation currently has five worship services each weekend — one Saturday evening, three on Sunday morning, and one Sunday evening. The Festival service, attended by around 800 worshippers, signaled the beginning of “Called to Action,” the congregation’s capital funds drive. The drive will help the congregation relocate the facility to a site with more land and room to expand its ministries to the community.

The musicians of Christ Our Shepherd were featured, including youth choirs, adult choirs, brass, and contemporary worship musicians. Two songs written by congregation members reinforced the themes, “journeying by faith” and”using our many gifts to serve the Lord.”

The worship service was followed by a catered luncheon.
