OPEN FORUM & VOTERS' MEETING
On Sunday, February 24 after the service,we will have an Open Forum which will present the various plans which we hope to implement in the coming year and beyond. This offers all of our members information on how they can serve and become more active in our congregation. It also allows you to ask questions and offer input to help us with future planning. While there may not be much to report so quickly after the School of Strategic Planning, we should be able to mention some highlights we gleaned from that. All confirmed members of Good Shepherd are welcome and encouraged to join us.
The Voters' Meeting will take place immediately following the Open Forum.
ADULT BIBLE CLASS — JESUS – Legend or Lord?
The final segment, "The Explosion of Christianity" is this Sunday. In order to give ourselves enough time to discuss the materials presented, the DVD will begin promptly at 8:55 AM.
ADULT BIBLE CLASS — Galatians
The next Adult Bible Class series will begin on Sunday, March 3.
We will read through St. Paul's letter to the Galatians. The main purpose
of this letter was to offer correction and encouragement to a congregation
which was convinced that human effort must be added to the Gospel
promises to be assured of one's place in the kingdom of God. This is a
constant struggle that we face, convinced that our salvation is somehow
based on our performance or worthiness. This epistle, perhaps more
than any other, teaches us what it means that we are saved “by faith
alone.” Class begins on Sundays at 8:45 AM.
SUNDAY NIGHT BIBLE SERIES
A next session of our Sunday Night Bible Series will be Sunday, March 10 at 6:00 PM. This series, entitled “Eating God's Sacrifice,” explores the Lord's Supper portrayal in the Old Testament sacrifices. While the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper flows from the Passover, its roots and forgiveness come from all the Old Testament sacrifices. After viewing each DVD segment, Pastor Purdue and Pastor Schroeder will lead a discussion about the material which is in the DVD. All sessions will begin at 6:00 PM. These are intended to be interactive discussions as well as informational. Desserts and snacks will be served. All are welcome.

WELS YOUTH RALLY
Join Us for the 2019 WELS Regional Youth Rally in West Virginia!
This year's regional Youth Rally will take place at Shepherd University in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, from July 15-18th. The Michigan District and North Atlantic District will again be partnering on this project.
The event will be similar to the rallies held at Villanova in 2015 and at Xavier in 2017. Students and chaperones will have the chance to join fellow WELS members from around the country for worship, Bible study, games, exploring the West Virginia countryside, a trip to an amusement park, and much more!
Earlybird online registration is already open! Save now by registering before March 16th. You can find Rally information at welsyouth.net or simply click the link below.
The MLC college choir will give a partial concert at Huron Valley Lutheran High School on Tuesday, March 5. Pastor David Starr (admissions counselor at MLC) will open with a brief chapel service at 10 am, which will then be followed by the concert. The concert will finish around 11:00. Anyone who is interested is welcome to join us for the concert.

BAD WEATHER POLICY FOR SERVICES AT GOOD SHEPHERD
For future reference (or a reminder) here is the bad weather policy for Good Shepherd services:
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 capella singing and/or spoken liturgy, but we will be here.
Bible Classes and meetings may be cancelled due to weather. Check your email regarding announcements to see if any of those scheduled events is cancelled. If there is no email about it, it is not cancelled. 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.
God bless you.
In Christ,
Pastor Schroeder
