REGULAR SCHEDULE

Sunday School is on Sundays at 8:45 AM.

IN OUR PRAYERS
We give prayers and thanksgiving for Jim Hardiman and Lindsey Holloway who will be married at Good Shepherd this Saturday, January 25 at 3:00 PM. May God grant them a long, joy-filled marriage built on Christ and his faithful love.
On Sunday, January 26, we will observe Sanctity of Life Sunday in recognition of the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision which legalized the abortion of children from their mother's wombs. We pray that God would move the hearts of people to put an end to this evil practice, to guide people to end the need for this practice by living chaste and decent lives which limit sex to the marriage bed, and to bring comfort to all who live with the guilt and regret for whatever part they may have played in participating in or supporting the practice of abortions. We also recognize that God cares for the lives of people of all ages, including the elderly, infirm, and disabled. One prayer that can be offered in conjunction with this travesty can be found here: http://lutheransubject.blogspot.com/2020/01/a-litany-for-gift-of-life-and-for.html
Our guest preacher will be Rev. Ross Ulrich from Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church in Monroe, MI.
FELLOWSHIP OUTINGS
There are three outings for you to enjoy as fellow members of Good Shepherd. Of course, you are encouraged to invite friends to join us too. Perhaps they would be more comfortable learning about Christians in these informal settings before a more intimidating walk into church for a Divine Service.
1) Euchre and Game Night will be on Sunday, January 26, 7:00 PM. If you aren't a euchre fan, we will have other games you can enjoy. Interested in learning euchre? We can help with that, too.
2) Super Bowl party at the parsonage, Sunday, February 2 at 5:00 PM. The official kick off time is 6:20 PM, but you are welcome to come any time after 5:00 PM to enjoy some food, chat, and sign up for squares. (Don't know what that is? It is a chance to win a prize at no cost to you. It also allows a boring game to still have some entertainment value.) Deadline for squares will be 6:00 PM.
3) Dinner at Randy & Jean's. Randy & Jean Nabozny will be hosting this even at their home in Chelsea. Dinner will be Friday, February 14th. Arrive after 6 pm, with dinner around 7:30 pm. Please RSVP to Jean at jrauchholz@gmail.com no later than February 9th to ensure an accurate count for dinner. If you would like to join in the fun, we are in need of salad, appetizers, and dessert.
OFFICE HOURS
Regular office hours at Good Shepherd will be Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM. While there may be some flexibility to this schedule, we will try to keep it as regular as possible.
BAD WEATHER POLICY FOR SERVICES AT GOOD SHEPHERD
We will always have services as scheduled at Good Shepherd. Since I live across the parking lot, I can get to the church no matter how bad the weather gets. Even if the service is just me and my family, we will be here. For everyone else, please use your God-given common sense to determine whether or not you will get on the road to attend any service when the weather is bad. We don't want anyone to risk his or her life to be here. But if you do venture out, the scheduled service will take place. It may be only a handful with a cappella singing and/or spoken liturgy, but we will be here.
Bible Classes and meetings may be canceled due to weather. Check your email regarding announcements to see if any of those scheduled events is canceled. If there is no email about it, it is not canceled. But again, use common sense to determine if you can make it, and call the pastor to let him know if you will not be coming.
