WOW (Women of the WELS)
An organization formed to serve and include all the women at Shepherd of the Plains. Through WOW the ladies encourage each other, strengthen Christian fellowship within the church, and pool their talents and strengths to accomplish more than any one could individually. WOW meets quarterly and as announced for the planning of special events and projects, such as the annual Fall Festival, Chili/Bunko night, Progressive Dinner, Church Cookbook, Wish Tree, greeting card sales, etc.
ACTIVITIES:
Adult Choir
If you enjoy singing, why not join the Choir? This group is composed of confirmed men and women of the congregation. The choir rehearses as announced, usually after Worship services. For more information, please speak with Nicole Martens.
Sunday School Choir
The youth of our Sunday School periodically sing during our Worship Services. During Christmas, they have a special Christmas Service with songs and recitations.
Sunday School is held during the school year from 9:15-10:15 AM every Sunday and meets in the Sanctuary. It is led by Nicole Martens with singing and instruments for the children ages 4-13 to praise God.
Please encourage your fellow members and friends with children to join us...and adults please stay for Adult Bible Study at this time.
Game Nights
Periodically our Campus group, Youth group, and members of the congregation get together for a delicious meal followed by a night of games. It is a lot of fun for members of all ages!
Good Food and Fellowship
One the most informal ways to meet your fellow members is to stop by for coffee and donuts before and after Worship services in the fellowship hall. We also hold potluck dinners periodically...all members are encouraged to bring a dish to share while enjoying the food and fellowship.
Opportunities to Serve
There are many opportunities to serve the Lord at Shepherd of the Plains. We are always looking for volunteers to clean the church, help at special workdays, repair needed items, paint, work on the grounds, organize events, etc. Your talents will always be put to good use!
"Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life." (John 3:36)
