Octoberfest at Good Shepherd -- September 28, 2025

          Octoberfest will be Sunday, September 28.  (Yes, I know, September. But that’s when they do it in Munich, so there!) 

          The schedule for our Octoberfest is:

               5:00 PM -- Vespers
               5:30 PM – A bratwurst dinner
               6:30 PM – Luther Lecture

          This year's Luther Lecture will focus on someone whom our Lord used to protect Martin Luther, enabling the Lutheran Reformation to take hold.  The theme is: "Frederick the Wise, elector of Saxony, protector of Luther."

          Good Shepherd will provide the bratwurst, buns, condiments, bottled water, lemonade, and coffee.  In order to make sure we will have enough food on hand for this event, please RSVP to welsnovi@aol.com, indicating your name and how many will be coming to this event. If you would be so willing, please bring a salad, side dish, or dessert to round out the meal.

         We hope that all guests of our Octoberfest celebration will gain a greater appreciation for the confessors and the confession of the Evangelical Lutheran Church.
