A handbell ringer and director with more than 40 years of experience will teach a new group of ringers, high school age and older, to play for GSLC's Christmas Concert at 10 a.m. on December 20. No musical experience is necessary. Participants need only commit to one 90-minute workshop on November 18, two one-hour rehearsals on December 2 and 16, all at 7 p.m. You need not be a member to ring!
On the fourth Sunday of every month, GSLC takes responsibility for a meal that people in Fayetteville count on. Volunteers prepare dinner at church, take it to Central on Garland, and serve it to anyone who comes, without cost or eligibility requirements.

Good Shepherd Lutheran Church acknowledges that Indigenous peoples were forced to leave their ancestral lands, including the Osage, Caddo and Quapaw Nations with ties to Northwest Arkansas. We further recognize that a portion of the Trail of Tears runs near our church facilities, and that the Cherokee, Choctaw, Muscogee (Creek), Chickasaw and Seminole Nations passed through what is now Arkansas during this forced removal. We acknowledge all Indigenous teachers, researchers and residents in our community and region today.
