ADULT BIBLE CLASS — Galatians
Our Adult Bible Class 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.”

EASTER POSTCARDS / OUTREACH
We ordered 500 postcards for Easter outreach. They will only be of value if we get them distributed to family and friends or leave them in places where others can find them. We would like to have at least 20 guests join us for our Festival Service on Easter. In order to do that, we (that is WE, as in all of Good Shepherd) need to invite others. A large stack of postcards still remains at church. Take as many postcards as you can use, and invite as many as you can.
SUNDAY NIGHT BIBLE SERIES
Our next session for our Sunday Night Bible Series will be THIS SUNDAY (April 14)
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.
ADULT BIBLE CLASS REGARDING SUICIDE
“And She Was A Christian” is a book that was written by Pastor Peter Preus, a Lutheran pastor whose wife committed suicide. What hope is there for those who commit suicide? Is it an unforgivable sin? Is it the fast-track to hell? What comfort can be given to those who grieve over the loss of their loved one? How does one handle guilt, blame, or the shame of being associated with one who has killed himself? Sadly, too many people have acquaintance with such a tragic death.
Throughout the Wednesdays in May, we will meet at church, 7:00-8:30 PM to consider Scriptural ways to answer questions about suicide and to console those who grieve over the loss of loved ones who chose to end their own lives.
If you are interested in the book, “And She Was a Christian” ($25 each), sign up for a copy by the bulletin board in the fellowship hall -- or send an email (welsnovi@aol.com). Copies will be here by Sunday, April 28 in case you want to read through the chapters before class.
