Area Women’s Study
In January, the Area Women’s Bible Study will resume its study of the Gospel of Luke. We will meet on Tuesday, January 7th and 21st at 6:30 p.m. at Faith Lutheran Church, 55 Prairie Road. Please enter the doors in the back of the school. Text Naomi at 920-960-1436 to join the text stream for reminders and weather updates.
In Philippians 3:14 the apostle Paul reminds us that there is a prize at the end of this fight. He reminds us that God has called us to that prize in heaven. Through his word and the encouragement of one another, God himself will give us the strength to FORGE AHEAD IN FAITH. We invite you to attend the Men of His Word conference to receive such strength and encouragement to FORGE AHEAD IN FAITH in your own life. The Men of His Word National Conference will be hosted at the Best Western Premier Waterfront Hotel and Convention Center in Oshkosh (1 N Main Street, Oshkosh). For registration and more information go to www.menofhisword.org.

On February 2nd, 2025, WLA will host its Centennial Celebration beginning with a special church service in WLA’s gym at 2:00 p.m. Following the service will be a luncheon at the Radisson Hotel at 4:00 p.m. These events will not only highlight key moments from WLA’s past but also look forward to the next 100 years. Everyone is invited!
Registration cost for the dinner is $15 per person and is required. Tickets can be purchased online HERE.
WLA Kitchen Help
In order to help keep costs low and to engage congregations who belong to the WLA federation, WLA is soliciting kitchen help from members of Good Shepherd for two weeks during the school year for 4-hour shifts. The dates are December 9th-13th and February 10th-13th. If you are able to help serve in the kitchen during any of these dates, please sign your name to one of the sheets on the narthex counter.
LWMS National Convention
Next year’s National LWMS Convention will be held from June 26th – 29th in Tulsa, OK. Both men and women are invited to attend the convention and learn more about the world-wide WELS missions that took place/are taking place in 2024-2025! To learn more go to lwms.org.
100 Missions in 10 Years
At the 2021 Synod Convention, delegates enthusiastically approved a WELS Home Missions initiative to plant 100 home mission churches and enhance 75 ministries in 10 years beginning in 2023. During the same time, we want to support 75 enhancement grants to help existing congregations reach more souls, often in other cultures. This is a BIG challenge. An impossible one you might say. But this initiative isn’t as much about planting more churches but about sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. It’s about aggressively reaching lost souls. We pray that God will bless our efforts, trusting that he is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine. Learn more about this initiative, stay up-to-date on progress, and learn how you can get involved in this synodwide church planting effort at wels100in10.net.
