Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, Loudonville, NY

Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, Loudonville, NY Good Shepherd Lutheran Church is a Reconciling in Christ community, where all are included, welcomed, and celebrated. Sunday School started a few weeks later.

We are in the town of Colonie in the Capital Region of New York. Over 50 years ago there was a response to a community in need. In August 1960, the Board of American Missions of the Lutheran Church in America (a predecessor of the ELCA) sponsored a mission developer who undertook a door-to-door religious survey in the Loudonville area. As a result of the interest shown by residents of the area, the first worship service was held at the American Legion Hall on Osborne Road on October 9, 1960. The church charter was opened to interested members on December 12, 1960, with membership growing steadily. A congregational meeting for the incorporation of the church was held on April 14, 1961. Good Shepherd Evangelical Lutheran Church was officially organized on April 16, 1961 with 113 adult and 62 youth members. The membership continued to grow so the congregation moved its meetings to the Community Hall, where we stayed until the first church building was constructed in 1965 at its current site. In 1986, the congregation – even larger! -- realized that its building size was insufficient for its desired programs. After careful demographic and program studies, a decision was made to expand. In 1988 our new sanctuary and entry were built, along with extensive renovations to the original building. The new spaces are enabling us to better serve the congregation and our community.

Sunday's reading from St. Paul's letter to the Romans contains Pr. Chilton's favorite verses in all of scripture (the citation is even etched into multiple travel mugs of his).

Romans 8:38-39:
For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

In the video, Michael Bridges introduces the song "Convinced" based on this text. Pr. Chilton played the album containing this song on repeat the year it came out.

Check it out and get it in your head.

The song, "Convinced," was first released on our Something CD in 2001.
