Good Shepherd Lutheran Church - Beautiful New Building!

Even as Heather, David John, Emily and I are preparing for our move to St. Louis, transitioning to life in an apartment, and a big change in the pace of our lives together, our home congregation is doing the same thing! Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Herndon (previously Reston), VA is in the final stages of building a new church building; we will worship together in this building for the first time this Sunday, 13 April.

I was over at the new building on Saturday for acolyte/usher/communion assistant training in the morning and to help move into the rooms in the Sunday School wing in the afternoon. What a beautiful sanctuary and building we will enjoy as we gather to receive God's gifts of Word and Sacrament!

One of our members, Bill Gehrke, has done an outstanding job of chronicling the entire building project. His video presentations can be found at: http://www.gslcva.org/construction-videos.html. Check them out!

I plan to take my camera to church on Sunday. Check back for pictures of our first day in the new building!
