Money is due at the time of order. All items will be available for pick up from church the week before Mother's Day. If you have questions, contact Sara Suwalski (sarasuwalski@mac.com 920-312-8674)
New Women’s Bible Study - Red Letter Challenge: Two new Bible studies will begin in March, walking through the Red Letter Challenge and focusing on the words of Jesus and how they shape our daily lives. A women's group will meet on Sunday mornings at 9:15 AM in the downstairs conference room (across from the youth room), beginning Sunday, March 1. All ladies are welcome to join at any time. A second group, open to everyone, will meet on Wednesday evenings at 6:30 PM (7:00 during Lent) in the downstairs conference room, beginning Wednesday, March 4. About the study: The Red Letter Challenge takes Christ's literal words and provides practical daily challenges based on those words. This study is designed to help you be the best Jesus follower you can be, not out of obligation, but out of gratitude for what Jesus has done for us. Come grow in faith and friendship together. Sign up on the board in the fellowship area and we will order a book for you. Contact Lori Sansoucie with questions, lori@oshkoshgoodshepherd.org or 314-956-1709.
Financial Commitments: Special thanks to all those who filled out a financial commitment form for the ministry here at Good Shepherd this year. We give thanks to God for your partnership in being intentional with your resources and for sharing those intentions that we can offer this collective, unified commitment unto the Lord today. 36 commitments were received totaling $121,876. Whether you offered a commitment or not, we give thanks to God for each and every one of you, that you know Jesus as your Savior, and that we are able to nourish your faith with Word and Sacrament, encouraging you along life’s way unto eternity. To God be all praise and glory!
Step Up for Our Youth!– Volunteer at the Wisconsin Herd Arena! Want a fun (and easy!) way to make a big difference? Come join us working concessions at the Wisconsin Herd Arena!

The dates are Saturday, February 28, from 5:00–10:00 pm and Saturday, March 13 from 5:00–10:00 pm. If you’re ready to jump in, sign up on the volunteer board in the atrium or reach out to Lori Sansoucie at lori@oshkoshgoodshepherd.org or 314.956.1709.

Thank you! We’re excited to share that we raised $132.60 from the Panda Express Dine Out event and over $500 from the Super Bowl Pizza Sale! Thanks so much to everyone who supported these fundraisers — your help makes a real difference. Mark your calendars for our next dine-out event on March 9th at Red Robin. It’s a great chance to enjoy a meal out and continue supporting our group!
Most Needed Items: Thank you, members of Good Shepherd, for your generous donations in January! For the month of February, we are collecting most needed items for each food pantry. The Lutheran Food Pantry is requesting canned tuna, hamburger helper, cereal, and macaroni & cheese. The Trinity Food Pantry is requesting cake/cookie mixes, canned fruit, and jello/pudding mixes. Thank you in advance for your prayerful generosity!
​
Mission of the Month: It's hygiene time! This month we are donating hygiene items to help stock over 100 crisis and homeless centers for the year. These are spread across 22 communities in Wisconsin and have a large variety of needs. Anything from shampoo and conditioner to dish soap and laundry detergent is needed. There is a complete list in the atrium with boxes to put the items in. This will run from February 22nd through March 15th but we are already accepting donations. If you want to donate money for the Hygiene Drive, please write “Hygiene Drive” in the memo line of your check or on the outside of your envelope. "Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to do it" Proverbs 3:27
