ADULT BIBLE CLASS
Sometimes we have a hard time understanding parts of the Bible. Some of those words come from Jesus himself. We are considering the Hard Sayings of Jesus. The weekly schedule can be found here. Adult Bible Class meets at 9:00 AM. All from grade 7 on up are welcome to attend.
MURDER MYSTERY – OH, HORRORS! IT’S MURDER!
Good Shepherd will be hosting an interactive theater experience on Saturday, February 7 (time TBA). “Oh, Horrors! It’s Murder!” will be presented by a local theater group which will feature congregational members Diane Wozniak and Tom Mattison. We will watch the first act which will depict the murder (it’s not going to be gruesome; it’s church outing!). Then, we will interact with the characters during an intermission. In the second act, we will vote on who we think the murderer is, and the actors will respond based on our vote. As of this writing, tickets will be $25 (we may adjust it, but not by much). Refreshments will be served before the play and during the intermission. You are encouraged to invite friends to this event.
> We are still planning to have a dry run for our texting service. The date for that is still to be determined.
> In an effort to engage more members with more opportunities to serve, we are summoning more men to serve as ushers. We also intend to be more organized so that we don’t grab people at the last minute to fill in for absent people. We will be recruiting people who will count and deposit the offerings. We will also be recruiting more women who can serve in handling the sacred vessels for holy communion. Training for all of these areas of service will be scheduled in the months to come.
> Every four years or so, the pastor conducts
visits at the homes of all the members.
It is intended to stay connected with everyone and to allow people to
address any issues that may bother them or confuse them. Every Member Visits will begin in
February. A sign-up sheet will be posted
at church to allow people to schedule their visit. As the year goes on, phone calls will be made
to those who have not yet signed up (ominous music inserted here).
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 are 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.
