This Saturday, July 13, Good Shepherd's 5th annual "Cooking for Our Neighbors" Day - This year we have the opportunity to prepare 100 hot meals and serve them to formerly-homeless residents of Cordell Place (Bethesda) and Seneca Heights (Gaithersburg) - two supportive housing complexes operated by the Montgomery County Coalition for the Homeless. Susan Callahan is once again opening her spacious kitchen at the Universities at Shady Grove to us where we'll partner with student volunteers from Campus Kitchens in cooking the food.
Please use the insert in the Sunday bulletin to request your favorite hymns to be sung in August. Place the request form in the collection plate or give it to George Drumwright.

ONGOING
The ICE sweep continues to be a concern - If you know of anyone who is feeling scared or apprehensive, here is a phone number for information 202-335-1183, "ICE Rapid Response" that is answered 24 hours daily in English or Spanish. They will provide information about immigrants' rights and who to call for help. More information about how we can help those in need will be forthcoming.
Saint Luke Food Pantry - Each of us does have the power to make a positive difference in a way that might seem small unless you are the person who is sent to Saint Luke Food Pantry to obtain staples to ward off food insecurity for yourself and your family. Each of us has the power to help make sure that the shelves at the food pantry are full of nutritious staples found in cans, bags, boxes, and jars. Protein ideas include canned tuna and chicken; peanut butter (and jelly for sandwiches); hearty soups; chili with beans; black or red beans to be served with rice; high protein cereals. Canned fruit and vegetables, pasta and sauce, and condiments are also welcomed. Remember that it is often the adolescent (or younger) children in the family who are responsible for preparing meals for themselves, their parents, and their younger siblings. Please bring your staples to the bins at the back of church. You are also welcomed to take them yourself to Saint Luke Lutheran Church at the corner of Dale Drive and Colesville Road. (Rte. 29) between 10 am and 2 pm on weekdays. Park on Dale Drive. Remember that hunger does not take a vacation.
Another Way to Contribute to Good Shepherd
- Good Shepherd has a brokerage account with TD Ameritrade, an online broker. This means that parishioners who wish to donate stock, bonds, or mutual fund shares to the church have an easy way to do so. If investments are held in a brokerage account, your broker can transfer them to Good Shepherd's TD account, for which Lynn Hutcheson has the account number and other required information. If you have paper shares that you wish to donate, you can take them to one of TD's offices to begin the procedure.
