Good Shepherd Weekly 7/21
Council for Children Gala Invite
The Outreach Committee has been working to increase Good Shepherd's visibility and activity within the local community. To that end we have partnered with a variety of local non-profits such as the Greater Attleboro Area Council for Children. Members of the Outreach Committee will be attending the Council for Children's 2022 Gala. We would love to have a great showing of people from Good Shepherd at this community event and so you are invited to join us at the Gala. The Gala is on Saturday, September 24 2022 and is 6:00-11:00. The Gala will be held at the EnVision Hotel and Conference Center in Mansfield. The cost per person is $30. If you would like to attend please contact Pastor Goetzinger (pastor@goodshepherdattleboro.com) by August 21.
Summer Reading? Check out Galatians.
Martin Luther said of the in the introduction to his Commentary on Galatians, "In my heart reigns this one article, faith in my dear Lord Christ, the beginning, middle and end of whatever spiritual and divine thoughts I may have, whether by day or by night." For Christians the gospel is everything. It is the heartbeat of our spiritual lives. In short the gospel is "Christ for us"--Christ's life lived perfectly in our place, his life given innocently, and his resurrection from the dead. It is simple, but it is easy to get wrong. Or maybe better put: it's hard to get right. Along with your summer reading download this self study on the Book of Galatians so that you too live a Gospel life. Download here.

This Sunday
“He’s lost.” We use that term not only to refer to someone who is bewildered about where they are but also to refer to someone who is in a helpless, hopeless state. Mankind’s natural state is one of complete spiritual helplessness, a profound lostness. It manifests itself in countless ways. The one who simply wants God to leave him alone: lost. The one who feels she can handle life on her own: lost. The one who thinks he has the right to repent of his sins on his own timetable and on his own terms: lost. The one who thinks God owes them in some way: lost. Wandering around physically lost can lead to winding up in bad places. But the hard truth is that wandering around spiritually lost puts you in the worst place of all. Fortunately, Jesus does not leave us alone in our lostness. He relentlessly seeks us. He involves the rest of the Christian community in seeking the lost and rejoicing over the found.
