Could you help?

Thanksgiving Boxes

Would you be willing to help make Thanksgiving a wonderful day for some of our neighbors in need? The Outreach Committee is seeking donations to build boxes. Each box will cost $50 to fill. Please make out a check to Church of the Good Shepherd with a note of Thanksgiving Box, or use an envelope in the pew to put cash in and note Thanksgiving Box, or donate using the button on our website. Every donation, regardless of the amount will help us get to our goal.

And we need actual boxes to put the fixings in. If you have some boxes, please drop them off to the Parish Hall.

Last Sunday we celebrated the Baptism of William Barkley, son of Margaret Arroyo and Carey Barkley, brother of James and grandson of Kate and Hector Arroyo.
