Men's Breakfast

Men's Breakfast

Join us for Good Shepherd’s Men’s Breakfast this March as we welcome Mike Ebbing, a longtime Good Shepherd member with an incredible story to share. Some may remember Mike’s previous talk on the 50th anniversary of the Watergate Break-In. This time, he’s taking a more personal approach, reflecting on his faith journey in a presentation titled:

“27-50: After Nixon, Before Jesus”

Mike will share his powerful testimony about how he spent 27 years ignoring Jesus' call—even as God orchestrated moments in his life—and how everything changed when he finally opened his heart to Christ. Now, after 50 years of walking with Jesus, Mike will reflect on the challenges, blessings, and unwavering faith that have shaped his journey.

With a unique background serving in the White House Communications Agency from 1970-72 under President Nixon, Mike’s story weaves together history, faith, and personal transformation. He’ll take us back to his early years, his time at the Nixon White House—including fascinating insights from historic events—and how, through it all, God had a plan for his life.

Don’t miss this engaging and inspiring morning of faith, fellowship, and breakfast!

Date: Saturday, March 8
Time: 8:30 am
Location: Good Shepherd's Youth Room

All men are welcome—invite a friend and join us for a morning that promises great food, great company, and a story of redemption you won’t forget!

Adult Bible Study in Hebrews

Sundays at 9:10 am
Discovery Room

Join us during Community Hours on Sundays as we begin a new Max Lucado study on the book of Hebrews. The Jewish believers were torn between their new faith in Jesus and their old ways rooted in Old Testament routines and rituals. They were tempted to go back to their familiar life that seemed "good enough". The author of Hebrews shows that when Jesus came the "best got better".

Come join us as we learn and share in this wonderful study!
