Bible Basics 103
Everyone needs to know the basics of the Bible. To those who studied the Bible in catechism class, this is an excellent refresher course. For those who don’t know Jesus, every lesson points the way to salvation. For those who are interested in membership at Good Shepherd, this course presents the basics of what we believe and teach as confessional Lutherans. Bible Basics 103 is themed, “What the Holy Spirit does for you.” Learn of the power of God to change lives, and then of the miraculous instruments he places into our hands. These lessons are taught on Sundays at 11:30 a.m. in the church class room, Room 131, lasting an hour each. Here is the upcoming schedule:
March 16 Bible Basics 103-1 “The Holy Spirit works through God’s Word.”
March 23 Bible Basics 103-2 “The Holy Spirit works through Baptism.”
March 30 Bible Basics 103-3 “The Holy Spirit works through the Lord’s Supper.”
April 6 Bible Basics 103-4 “The Holy Spirit gathers the Church.”

The Ladies of Good Shepherd are hosting this presentation, and welcome all attenders. Refreshments will be served.

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.
