Good Shepherd Lutheran Church

<p>Colorful stained glass windows in Good Lutheran Church's sanctuary sparkle on sunny days. These ornate windows take viewers through scenes from the Old and New testaments, and were created by volunteers to honor the memory of Pastor Charlie Schwarz, who served the church for 29 years.</p> <p> The church is now led by Rev. Bryan Leone. It has more than 225 members and offers Sunday school and adult education. Frank and Anna Gibiser spearheaded the effort to found Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in 1960, contacting Lutherans from Monroe and surrounding towns and hosting a meeting in their home. Good Shepherd was officially organized in 1961, with 145 members from the county.</p>
