Super Sundae Sunday: Today is Super Sundae Sunday! Please enjoy an ice cream sundae as a thank you for your continued support of the Trinity and Lutheran food pantries.
Ascension Day: On Thursday, May 14, we will celebrate the ascension of our Lord. Making this day even more meaningful, we worship together with the LCMS churches in our circuit. This year, Trinity Oshkosh will host the Ascension Day service, beginning at 7:00 PM. There will be no service at Good Shepherd that evening. We hope to see you at Trinity, 370 Bowen Street, Oshkosh.
Class of 2026: Do you have a student graduating from high school or college this year? We would love to celebrate their achievement with our church family! Please send us their name, a photo, and a brief note about their future plans so we can include them in our upcoming newsletter. Submissions can be emailed to: church@oshkoshgoodshepherd.org. Then, on Sunday, June 7 at 9:00 AM, we invite you and your student to join us for worship and a special recognition and blessing for graduates. We look forward to honoring our graduates!
Young Adults Ready to Roll? If you’re age 18–30, grab some friends and join us for a night of Techno Bowling at Rev’s on Friday, May 29! The evening will kick off with fellowship & snacks at 8:00 PM, then hit the lanes at 9:00 PM for glowing lights, music, unlimited bowling, and a whole lot of fun. Cost is $15.99 (+tax) per person, including shoe rental. Whether you bowl a 300 or spend most of the night in the gutter, this is all about connecting, laughing, and enjoying a great night together. Don’t miss it!
Family Movie Night – King of Kings: We’re hosting another movie night on Saturday, May 30. This month’s movie is Angel Studios animated feature King of Kings. A father tells his son the greatest story ever told, and what begins as a bedtime tale becomes a life-changing journey. Through vivid imagination, the boy walks alongside Jesus, witnessing His miracles, facing His trials, and understanding His ultimate sacrifice. Doors open at 4:00 PM, and the movie begins at 4:30 PM. It's simple. Just show up and settle in.
​
Find Your Place at VBS: We have high expectations for this summer’s VBS, August 10-14, and we need your help. No experience needed. Vacation Bible School is an incredible week of Jesus-filled moments for kids. A group of dedicated volunteers is needed to make this week happen. There are a wide variety of roles, allowing each volunteer to utilize the unique gifts and talents God has given. You’ll be part of a bigger team helping kids learn that Jesus is their True North. Stop by the information board in the atrium to see how you fit in.
Mission of the Month: Prison Fellowship Angel Tree Children's Camp is May’s Mission of the Month. At camp, kids with a parent in prison meet other kids just like them and learn they are not alone. They get space to reflect, make memories, and receive God's love while being surrounded by nature. The camp and counselors are there to help them process difficult emotions and challenges they face, all while enjoying fun camp activities and learning about God's love. Mission Donation envelopes are available on the Mission of the Month board and table in atrium. Please visit prisonfellowship.org or the Mission bulletin board for more information.
Small Coins = Big Change: When you donate your spare change in a mite box, it is combined with other mite box donations and suddenly a few dollars because many! In January of 2026, over $150,000 was collected by the LWML through mite boxes and put towards worthy programs such as Lutheran counseling services, a Lutheran family crisis center in Iowa, and an unwed, homeless pregnant women’s crisis center in Southwest Wisconsin. Your change helps the love of Christ be shared with people locally and globally. Please donate your spare change in the mite box that will be set out in the church atrium next Sunday. You can also take a mite box home and return it when it is full.
Church Directory Update: Thank you for your patience throughout the Church Directory process. It has been long and involved but continues to move forward. Currently, our directory is in the hands of the layout designer to incorporate our final edits. Upon completion of the layout, the designer will forward our directory to the printer, who will add us to their schedule for printing. When finalized, we will pick the directories up and notify you that they have arrived! Again, thank you for your participation and patience throughout this exciting process.
Cinco De Mayo Food Drive: For May, we will collect “Cinco de Mayo” themed items like salsa, canned peppers & corn, beans, rice, hot sauce, taco seasonings, etc. Thank you for your continued support of these important food pantries.
Summer Worship: Summer schedules fill up fast—travel, family time, and weekend plans can make it tough to be here on Sundays. That’s why our Thursday evening worship at 6:30 PM is a great option. It is an opportunity to stay grounded in God’s Word - and a chance to meet and worship with members you don’t usually see. Consider trying Thursday worship in the summer when we transition to 9:00 AM Sunday morning worship service.
KFUO.ORG: Tune in for “Spring into the Psalms” on Sharper Iron (weekdays at 8:00 AM)! This week, we’ll study Psalms 56, 64, 72, 82, and 94. We’re continuing our study of the book of James on Thy Strong Word (weekdays at 11:00 AM). Join us for chapters 3-5! Stay tuned for our next study, beginning next Monday, May 18th! Pastor Booe will be leading us in a study of Paul’s longest epistle: the Book of Romans! Find your favorite programs on demand by visiting kfuo.org!
