We hope you had a chance to say hello to our new bookkeeper, Penny Neville last Sunday. If you would like to get in touch with her, have a question about giving or something else, her email is  pneville@goodshepherdrmt.org. Penny flunked retirement (in the best way, right?) so she's here to work with us. Just like Jesus sent us Ernest, Jesus sent us Penny, and we're in good hands. And we thank Ernest gratefully for his years of serving Jesus here at Good Shepherd.

History Day! Hugs Camp Buddy and Staff Applications are in this information from the Diocese of North Carolina.
