Car Wash Saturday July 19 for Eagle Scout Project

9:30 to 11:30 Good Shepherd Parking Lot

My name is Matthew McKellar and I am a member and acolyte at Good Shepherd. 

I am also currently a Boy Scout and working on my Eagle Scout project.  For my Eagle project, I plan to renovate a dressing room at the Edna Boykin Cultural Center in Wilson. The project is meaningful to me as I have a love for the performing arts and have done many shows at this theatre. 

As part of my fundraiser for this project, I will be doing a donation car wash in our church parking lot next Saturday, July 19 from 9:30-11:30. Any donation towards this project will be greatly appreciated. Checks can be made payable to Matthew McKellar or you may Venmo my mom @Jenny-Mckellar-1. Thank you!

Gatekeepers finished their work last week. Shout out to all the volunteers who did the work, helped in many ways including making and serving lunch in our Parish Hall. We are so glad to be a part of this great program.
