EVERYONE at Good Shepherd is invited to participate, whether or not you attended the March 31 event. Please complete your questionnaire by May 19, 2019. Completed hardcopies may be placed in the lockbox in the narthex or handed to one of our Social Ministries Team members: Deborah Beebe, Shaun Hardy, Kathryn McMahon, or Lynn Wood. Results will be shared with the congregation in June.
