Sunday Adult Bible Studies at 9:45 AM –
Study of ELCA Social Statements:
This fall, we will come together in community to think about and discuss God’s call for us to live out our faith in the real world – that world right outside of our doors. We’ll discuss another ELCA Social Statement, how it began in congregations just like Good Shepherd, and are then developed by the wider church to guide God’s work in the world.
Sundays, September 20, 27, and October 11, 18 – Civic Life – By virtue of our baptism, all Christians are called into the vocation of discipleship, and active participation in civic life is a key element of that vocation. But how are we as Christians called to live this out? Matt Provost and Bettina Miller will lead our discussions during these weeks.
We’ll meet in the Fellowship Hall at 9:45 each Sunday. You can check out all the ELCA Social Statements and teachings on the new ELCA website.
