This Lutheran Church is about 2 miles from my home. As you can see it doesn't have a steeple. Over they 26 years we have lived in our home I have driven passed this church hundreds of times. Each time I always find myself looking at this huge wreath with the shepherd'sshaft/cross on the front of the church. The banner at the top of the permanent church advertising a summer series sounds like a very interesting
Good Shepherd Church has been serving N. Raleigh since 1983. They have 1,150 baptized members many of whom have come to the church from other states and countries as well as NC.
I don't know anything about the Lutheran doctrines but I really like the saying on the sign below. According to the information I found on the church Believe, Belong and Serve is their motto.
The roof line of the church has several levels with lots windows. The picture below is from the side of the front. At the peak of the roof is where the large wreath and shaft/cross hangs.
The below picture is of the preschool and day care section of the church. The little
porthole windows reminds me of quaint pictures you see of villages in Switzerland.
The church offers trained lay counselors from their congregation, known as Stephen Ministers, along with their Martha Ministry both of which aid congregation members in need.
Note from Madi: I survive the trip to the vet.....just barely....Tune in on Monday for the rest of the story.
So glad that terrible vet visit is over, beautiful Madi; we hope you got extra cuddles and treats when you got home, sweetie!...kitty kisses...Calle, Halle, Sukki
ReplyDeleteThe church itself seems to have very clean lines and simple features. I suppose a steeple would look out of place on this structure. I see what you mean about the wreath/staff/cross, it does stand out.
ReplyDeletePoor Madi, we hope you are not too traumatized by your ordeal.
Hugs & Purrs,
Judy and Cindi Lou

Some have gone preiod!!! The vet says he has never seen that happen before!!
It is her new diet!! It is making such a difference in her!!!
Pretty Church!!

Lovely church. That wreath is very intriguing.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to hearing about your vet visit, Madi. You know sharing these experiences is much like therapy, so let it all out.
That's a nice church, although I do like a steeple. Blog Mom's cousins were Lutheran. There are quite different types, she says, depending on the "synod", one being much more conservative than the other. There are probably other differences, too, but that's all we know. The Lutheran church in our town isn't too specatular looking and it's small, but it has some very nice events and things that are open to the whole community.
ReplyDeletelotsa licks, Lola
Hi Madi!
ReplyDeleteFirst we are glad you survived the ebil Vet visit. Did you put the bitey on the asst? We hope so. Ebil I tell you. Ebil.
Momma said to tell you she was brought up Lutheran, and they are so like the Episcopalians. The church she grew up in changed a LOT over the years, but it is still there. Her parents still attend.
