Foundations Bible Study Starts Jan 14
Musical Talents
As part of our 5-Year Strategic Plan, one of our goals is to utilize the variety of our member's musical talents in worship. If you have interest in contributing to our services as a soloist, part of a duet or quartet, or through playing an instrument, please contact Katie Otto.
Mauer Family Update
In His wisdom and love, God chose to call Matthew Maurer, the newborn grandson of Chip and Steph Maurer, home to heaven this past Christmas Eve. The Maurer family were long time members at Good Shepherd. Jessie Maurer, daughter-in-law of Chip and Steph, went into labor on Sunday morning. Jesus called Matthew home during the labor and delivery. This is an incredibly difficult loss for the Maurer family. Please keep Chip and Steph, their son and daughter-in-law, Nate and Jessie Maurer, in your prayers. If you would like to send condolences here is Nate and Jessie’s address:
660 11th St. NW
Naples, FL 34120
After Service Fellowship
A sign up sheet to provide snacks for after service fellowship has been placed on the bulletin board in the church lobby. If you are able, please sign up!
Taking Down Christmas Tree
Most of the Christmas decorations were taken down last Sunday, but due to the storm we'll need some help taking down the tree this Sunday, January 14. If you are able to stay after service to help with take down, your help would be much appreciated!
Giving Envelopes Delayed
If you have been wondering where you 2024 giving envelopes are, the delivery has been delayed. We are hoping that they arrive soon and we can get them to you ASAP. In the meantime you have three options:
Envelopes will be set out in the church lobby. Write your name on the front of the envelope and your offering will be recorded.
If you do not have need of a record of your offering, then you can just place your gift in the plate.
You can sign up for online giving (see below).
Online Giving
We are happy and grateful to accept contributions by any method you prefer, but in this digital age many people find it easier to give online. If you would like to switch to online giving as a method of donating, visit GoodShepherdAttleboro.com/give Once a profile is set up, you can opt for automatic ongoing contributions, or simply use it to make an occasional contribution.
Foundations
Foundations is an introduction to Biblical and confessional Lutheran theology. That might sound overwhelming but it's not. In each class we will answer one core question of life and then we will see how the Bible answers that question. If you have been a Christian for while, this is a class for you. If you want to know what our church teaches, this is the class for you. Because in this class you will be given the solid foundation of Jesus' teaching.
Upcoming Sunday
God knows everying. He sees all and knows everything…even our deepest thoughts. Though he knows everything about us, even the things we wish we could hide from him, he calls us to follow his Son. He wants us to be with him, and to see the greatness of his sacrifice and forgiveness. Not only does God call us he enables us to answer that call.
