Winter 2025

​

Morning Bible Study "True Comfort for the Conscience: The Freedom of the Bound Will"

(Sundays, starting Jan 7, in the Fellowship Hall -- 9:15-10:15am)

​

Join us for a 4-week study exploring Luther's classic "Bondage of the Will" (500th anniversary, 1525-2025) through Scripture and real-life application. We'll see why this "debate" is really about where a guilty conscience finds sure comfort -- not in our choices or feelings, but in Christ's promises. Learn why theological precision isn't just for pastors; clear doctrine leads to real comfort, a richer understanding of God's grace, and a healthier view of our daily choices as Christians. All are welcome -- no background knowledge necessary.

​

Childcare Available!  We have babysitters for available for Sunday morning Bible studies! Drop off your 0-2 year-old children in the Parents' Rooms by the Welcome Center and enjoy one of our Sunday morning Bible studies.

GriefShare

​​

If you've lost a spouse, child, family member, or friend, you might not have yet found other people who understand the deep hurt you feel. You may find yourself alone, facing questions you've never faced before. GriefShare is a friendly, caring group of people who will walk alongside you through one of life's most difficult experiences. You don’t have to go through the grieving process alone.

 

Good Shepherd has new and updated materials -- please join us as we are ready to help you through this process. Please share with your friends, neighbors, or anyone who needs compassionate support. Led by Pastor Janke.

 

Contact Pastor Paul Janke with any questions or to register for the next sessions.

But there is so much more to her life, a fascinating story of God's faithful plan, unfolding through numerous obstacles - not unlike our own struggles today. Registration is required so that we can be ready with supplies provided for you. Bring your Bible too - if you don't have one, we will provide a copy for you to use. Family and friends are welcome to come learn with you!
