Not Too Late for Heifer
- As is our custom, we are happy to receive your Heifer boxes and other forms of contributions this Sunday after Easter. More sheep would love to find a new home. Just remember that if you contribute with a check to make the check out to Good Shepherd and write Heifer on the memo line. If you contribute cash and wish to receive credit, please write your name on your Heifer box or plain envelope. Just place your contribution in the offering plate as it comes by. Thank you again and again. Deena is already wearing a big smile.
Saint Luke Food Pantry
- Lynn W. received an email seeking help from their volunteers to pack bags on Tuesday because so many clients had stopped by on Monday. Let's continue to help give them a wealth of staples to put in those bags. Feeding is an essential part of both our outreach to others and our fellowship here at home. Thank you.
