2019 Vestry nominees
Jose Luis Obando
-- Jose Luis Obando brings the Latino flare to Good Shepherd! He is a devoted father, husband and son. He enjoys all outdoor activities and every genre of music. He is the Chief Maintenance Engineer at Tilden Gardens, Inc. and looks forward to serving on the Vestry.
Boma Fubara
-- I have been attending Good Shepherd for about three years now. I have been working with the grounds maintenance group, weeding and gardening. At my former church in North Carolina, I was involved in many things and I did serve on the vestry. I am a grandmother. I have a grandson that draws me to Southern Maryland one weekend or two a month. When I was called and told that I had been recommended to serve on the vestry I said yes. I have done it before, somewhere else, and I certainly enjoy working with the people of Good Shepherd. I hope to be able to make myself useful to this congregation.
Joe Burckle
-- I have been attending Good Shepherd Episcopal Church since 2004 when Melissa and I moved to the area. We attend the 10:30 service at Good Shepherd with our two children, Ruby and Ben. I have participated in many of the activities of the church including Social Ministry events, Adult Education, Landscape committee, Finance committee, Building and Grounds, Sunday school, and serving on Vestry on two previous occasions. I am an Urban Forester in the District of Columbia. I have a strong interest in environmental issues and the outdoors. I am looking forward to the opportunity to continue to serve Good Shepherd.
Junior Warden nominee
Jennifer Hendricks
-- My family came to Good Shepherd approximately 15 years ago. We've been involved in a variety of committees within the church over the years. I have served Good Shepherd leading the Stewardship Committee, as a Vestry member and as Senior Warden in the past. In the secular world, I am a Social Worker at the NIH Clinical Center.

Social Ministries Upcoming Events
1. Goodies for the Episcopal Center for Children -
March is Good Shepherd's month to contribute healthy, individually wrapped snacks for the children. The announcement is out now because Irene Fletcher would like to deliver the snacks at the monthly meeting of the ladies auxiliary on Thursday, March 14. Let's fill her basket in the back of the church to overflowing.
2. Saturday, March 9 at 9:45 a.m. -
Our monthly second Saturday gathering to prepare 160 lunches for the Men's Shelter on Gude Drive. That's 320 sandwiches and 160 bags of carrots. Great fellowship as we work.
3. SUNDAY, MARCH 10 - HEIFER CREATIVITY FAIR AND COFFEE HOUR AFTER BOTH SERVICES -
This first Sunday of Lent is the traditional beginning of our annual outreach to Heifer International. The theme is a SECRET, but it promises to be fun, especially since Deena Groshong is in charge. This announcement gives you three weeks' notice to start creating if you haven't already. All sales benefit Heifer. Creation ideas include handmade jewelry, hats, scarves, baby items, books, cards, magnets, artwork, ornaments, woodwork, etc. And, lest we forget, homemade creations from the kitchen are always welcomed. THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL AGES.
4. Saturday, March 16 -
A team from Good Shepherd will deliver food for the monthly meeting of Center Global and enjoy fellowship with the clients.
5. SUNDAY, MARCH 31 AT NOON - SOCIAL JUSTICE LUNCHEON WITH OUTSIDE SPEAKERS ON THE TOPIC OF HUNGER AND HOMELESSNESS IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY -
A lunch of soup, salad, drinks, and dessert will be served. Organizers of this special event are Debbie Beebe, Deacon Kathryn, and Shaun Hardy. More details will follow.
