We offer Jesus in his holy
Word and Sacraments to all we come into contact with. To that
end, we offer a multitude of activities that have as their heart
and core the good news of what Jesus has done for us.
First and
foremost, we offer worship every Sunday and on festival days.
Here God serves us with the forgiveness of sins in Word and
Sacraments, and we serve God with our hymns and prayers of
thanks and praise. Please see our
worship schedule or
calendar for dates and times.
We offer Holy
Baptism to all people – infants and adults – for our Lord Jesus
promises that through Baptism, he saves us.
We offer Holy
Communion to our members and to those who are members of the
Wisconsin Synod or sister church bodies on the first and third
Sundays of the month, as well as on various festivals throughout
the year.
Here is an
explanation of close (closed) Communion.
We offer a
Bible
Information Class for those who are not members of our
congregation or of one in our fellowship. This class is either
held privately with the pastor or in a class setting. The
purpose of this class is to give a basic understanding of the
main teachings of the Bible. Upon completion of the class, a
person is eligible to become a member.
We offer
Bible
Classes for adults from September through May. Please check our
calendar for times – generally on Sunday
and Wednesday mornings.
We offer a
Lutheran Elementary School for children in Grades Kindergarten
through Eight. Much more information is available
about
our school
on other pages of this website.
We offer
a Home and School
Society. Recognizing
what a wonderful blessing our
Lutheran Elementary School
is from our gracious God for us and for our children, we desire
fittingly to support and give aid to our School and its faculty.
Home and School Society will be open to all the members of Good
Shepherd and the parents of all students.
We offer
Sunday
School open to all children from ages 3 through sixth grade
from September through May. In Sunday School, we teach all the
main Bible history stories of the Bible, thoroughly
familiarizing children with not only the stories, but also the
flow of history and thought of God’s Word.
We offer a
Vacation Bible School and a Christmas for Kids as shorter
educational opportunities open to all children, ages 3 through
sixth grade. Please watch the
calendar
for the dates – VBS generally being held in early August, and
Christmas for Kids on either the first or second Saturday in
December.
We offer
Confirmation instructions to children in grades six through
eight. During these vital years, we intensely study the chief
doctrines of God’s Word, as taught in Dr. Martin Luther’s Small
Catechism.
We offer a
Teen
Bible Class as the cornerstone of our teen group. Although our
teen group also does activities of a wide variety in serving the
congregation and for entertainment purposes, the heart of our
youth group is our Teen Bible Class that meets every Sunday
morning from September through May.
We offer a
Ladies Guild. The heart of this organization, open to all ladies
in the congregation, is a Bible Study with which the meetings,
held generally on the first Tuesday of the month, begin. The
Ladies Guild also busies itself with many invaluable service
projects in the congregation.
We offer a
Choir, open to all communicant members of the congregation. The
choir rehearses on Wednesdays from September through May. They
present anthems in worship that preach Christ and his saving
work. They also do much to enhance the congregation’s liturgy
and hymns.
We offer a
variety of fellowship opportunities on a regular basis. These
occasions provide opportunities both for Christians to enjoy one
another's company and also for mutual encouragement.
We also offer
the opportunity for male communicant members age 18 or older to be involved in
the administration of the congregation through the
voters’
assembly, which then elects some of their number to the
church
council and boards. Other
committees are formed on an as-needed
basis, appointed by the president of the congregation.
