OPEN OUR HEARTS:  Make Your Pledge This Sunday!  In this stewardship season, we invite our community to pray with and for one another. As we renew our financial commitment to Good Shepherd, we Open Our Hearts and faithfully intercede for the work that God has called us to do together. Make your pledge here. As pledges are received, we are building a "cairn" on The Common at the Windsor campus. It serves as an outward and visible sign of our commitment to one another and God's work in our midst. As you walk the campus, notice the cairn and know that others in our community are praying with you.
