Super Bowl Sunday = Eaton’s Pizza: Forget the touchdowns, we’re here for the PIZZA!! Support the Good Shepherd Youth by purchasing Eaton’s frozen pizzas after both services on Sunday, February 8th . Pizzas are $10 each, with 3 varieties to choose from: pepperoni, sausage or cheese. Cash or check only. These pizzas are the perfect complement to your Super Bowl Party, no matter how you 'slice' it! Thank you for your support!
Update: As you may or may not know, the church has moved to a new software system to make it a bit easier on the treasurer. This new software should be very helpful to provide summary of income vs budget amounts; however, moving forward, these amounts will begin to be provided in the bulletin monthly at the beginning of the month. So, for example, January amounts will be provided on the first or second Sunday in February; February’s will be provided in the beginning of March, etc. We will also try to add it to the Monday email blast so if you are not in attendance on the Sunday it is in the bulletin, you will still know how we are doing against our budget. These amounts are also provided in the bi-monthly Newsletter. The total budget approved in December was $413,140 which translates to $7,943 weekly or $34,430 monthly.
2025 Giving Statements: 2025 contribution statements are now available to pick up in atrium, on the table near the bulletin board. Thank you for your continued support of Good Shepherd.
A SUCCESSFUL JOURNEY! Thank you, faithful and generous members of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, for joining our December Mission of the Month journey! You blessed Journeys Lutheran School with $2670.00, allowing them to continue to repair their school from the over $1,000,000 in damages caused by the August 9, 2025 flood. Thank you for helping Journeys to heal by flooding them with your love!
Financial Commitments: Join with your family of Good Shepherd as we collectively offer our intentional support and ask the Lord’s blessings for the work and mission of Good Shepherd this year. Please fill out a commitment form and place it in the box at the back of the sanctuary by Feb 8. No need to write your name. It’s between you and God, but the whole picture helps the church plan accordingly. At worship services on Feb 12th and 15th, our commitments will be brought before the Lord. “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.”- 2 Corinthians 9:7-8
Directory Update: We are almost ready to submit our final roster information to make the new church directory. We are asking members to verify their contact information and make sure it is correct. Roster Sheets are on the table by the restrooms. After checking your information, please take your 2026 giving envelopes, if you have not already done so. Thank you.
Weekend to Remember: Register now to take advantage of special discounts! Rates increase January 27. Family Life’s Weekend to Remember is a marriage getaway designed to help couples slow down, reconnect, and be encouraged. It’s not counseling or group sharing — just time together with helpful, faith centered insights from marriage experts. All sessions are delivered to the audience at large, followed by one-on-one projects with your spouse. Whether you’re just engaged or celebrating 50 years of marriage, can’t keep your hands off each other or can’t look each other in the eyes, this weekend is for you. The weekend runs Friday night, all day on Saturday, and Sunday morning. See the insert for details. Learn more and register at weekendtoremember.com. Let’s be a church that invests in our marriages!

Mission of the Month: Damascus Road is a light in the darkness of human sex trafficking and a soft, safe place to land for victims of sex trafficking. These women and their children must flee their unsafe residence, usually on the spur of the moment, without preparation, and only the clothes on their back. They are terrified, feel alone, and have nothing. Damascus Road reaches out to these victims, brings them in, and provides them with basic needs, education, and training that teaches them Jesus is their Lord and Savior and He will be with them as they learn to lift themselves out of the depths of darkness. We can help by praying for their rescue and healing, providing (full-size) personal hygiene products, and offering financial support. Please visit the Mission of the Month Bulletin Board and damascusroadproject.org for detailed information. Jeremiah 30:8: "It shall come about on that day," declares the Lord of Hosts, "that I will break his yoke from off their neck and will tear off their bonds; and strangers will no longer make them their slaves."
CHRIST FOR YOU this week on KFUO AM850 & kfuo.org: This week on Sharper Iron (weekdays at 8 a.m.), we’re continuing our study of the book of Genesis, picking up with chapter 8! Tune in to Thy Strong Word (weekdays at 11 a.m.) as we continue our series, “The Magnificent 37”, a study of the miracles of Jesus. On Concord Matters this week (1/31 at 10 a.m.), we’re concluding our study of the Lord’s Prayer with a look at the 7th Petition—what does it look like for the Lord to “deliver us from evil”? Find your favorite programs on demand at kfuo.org or in the KFUO Radio app.
