A Parish Nurse is a professional, licensed nurse that focuses on the intentional care of the spirit as well as the promotion of wholistic health and prevention or minimization of illness within a faith community. �However, caring for our congregation and community is not something one person can provide. �This ministry needs assistance and support from other professionals and non-professionals. �Consider serving with the Parish Nursing team to assess needs, plan and present events, and serve your brothers and sister in Christ. Our Qualified nurses offer frequent health fairs to the community (blood pressure, diabetes checks, flu shots, medical counseling, etc.) and attend to the health needs of our homebound.

At the age of 18, young adults are released from the state's guardianship, many with nowhere to go. The Transitional Experience Milestone project offers qualified youth living quarters, in a safe environment as a training and intermediate step to prepare for independent living. GSLC partners with Salt Lake County and the State of Utah Foster Program and Housing Authorities to provide 3 group homes for these young adults.

This non-profit, interfaith organization, along with participating church congregations like Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, provides shelter and housing services to homeless families. Family Promise offers families a safe and supported environment away from the trauma of homelessness, while facilitating lasting income and housing stability for the families we serve. 95% graduate into housing and 100% remain housed 2 years after the shelter! Families account for 42% of all homelessness, due to the rising costs of living/housing expenses and depressed wages. This means that over 6,000 individuals in families, mostly single mothers, are caring for their children in shelters, doubling-up with friends/family, or worse, living out of cars or abandoned buildings. By volunteering with Family Promise, and giving of your time, compassion and hospitality, you are truly changing the lives of homeless parents and children for the better. GSLC hosts three times a year by providing food, shelter, and the love Jesus calls us to give. For more information visit www.fpsl.org. The 2019/2020 Family Promise dates are: November 24-December 1, 2019, May 24-31, 2020, August 2-9,2020, November 1-8,2020.

We would love for you to consider joining the Greeting Ministry at GSLC. Why be a greeter? Greeters have an extremely important role at worship and other church gatherings. Greeters are often the first impression that our church gives to visitors. Greeters let people who come to church alone know that they are welcome, they have friends, and that we are glad that they are here. Greeters can help newcomers connect with a pastor, find where they need to go, answer initial questions, or just give a handshake, maybe a hug, and definitely a smile. Being a greeter can be as simple as shaking hands or it could lead to deeper moments of prayer, conversation, and connection that can help people experience the love of Christ. Who can be a greeter? If you have the gift of hospitality, warmness, and are authentically happy to see people as they come to worship you can be a greeter. What do greeters do? Greeters welcome everyone coming to worship. Ideally one team will be near the parking lot and the other team will be by the doors of the church. On occasion greeters might be asked to help people fill out nametags for special services. Greeters help us discover who is a first time visitor and make sure they receive a gift bag from the welcome desk. Some tasks we hope a larger team of greeters will help with in the future are helping people find Sunday School and nursery registration, guiding people where they need to go around campus, and gathering some basic information from visitors so we can connect with them within 24 hours of their first visit. Ideally we would have a greeter at the welcome desk who can answer questions about Good Shepherd, worship, events, and ministries. Please prayerfully consider becoming part of this vital ministry! For more information please contact: Pastor Jeff (801-255-8181 or jefft@gslc.net) and he will connect you with Greeter Team Leaders.

The Good Shepherd Barnabas Project aims to connect our youth with adult Christian mentors, encourage them to grow in their relationships with God and others, and serve as a support as they discover God's purpose for their lives. Mentors will regularly encourage and pray for their mentee as well as spend quality time with them. Group activities, insights for connecting, and learning opportunities will be provided to enhance relationship building and promote a successful Barnabas relationship. The Barnabas Project is an opt-in program, so all mentors/mentees have volunteered to participate. It is not unusual for both the mentor and mentee to benefit from a mentoring relationship and we encourage all who may be interested to connect with those who are already involved. Contact Jeff ffej@gslc.net or Jolyn jolyn@gslc.net to be connected with participants or for more information. "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity." (1 Timothy 4:12)
