Family Movie Night on Friday, Nov. 8, at 6:00 PM
Join us for Family Movie Night on Friday, Nov. 8 at 6:00 PM!
The event begins in the church lobby with a pizza potluck dinner. Good Shepherd orders the pizza, and we encourage families to bring a side or dessert to share. Fun preschool toys will be available in the lobby classroom for kids to play with while they wait for showtime (or whenever they would like a break from the film!).
The movies will begin around 6:30 PM. “The Lion King” (the new, “live-action” version from this past summer) will play on the big screens in the church sanctuary and on the TV in the lobby, which overlooks the play area. “A Dog’s Journey” will play on the screens in the newly renovated Shepherd’s Hall.
We hope to see you there! Please let us know you are coming.
Soccer Practice Is Still On for Oct. 30
Just a quick update for everyone who has asked about Avanti Athletics’ weather policy - here are the details from their website:
We do our best on inclement weather days to keep the players safe and still get as much soccer in as possible. In the event we have to cancel for weather, we’ll notify you through a combination of email and text message (if opted-in). The school will also be notified so that students are dismissed according to their regular dismissal procedure.
If a make-up date has been scheduled, the scheduled date will be activated. In some cases, due to facility availability and scheduling, make-up dates are not possible. If this is the case, make-up dates are offered at a practice time outside of the after-school hours.
We contacted Avanti to check on the status of today’s practice, and they said the weather is looking good for early afternoon. If anything changes, they will contact you directly to let you know to pick up at the regular dismissal time instead.
