You May Have Been Assigned a Servant Role in July or August

The Sunday Servant Worship Schedule can be found by clicking the button and viewing on our website. There is a link on our home page under "Quick Links."

If switching to a new role, please email our Office Coordinator, Melina, so she can add you to our schedules. Also, please let the office know in advance if you are scheduled, or future plans have you going away and cannot serve. Thank you.

Please considering serving, our lists are getting quite thin for the summer months. Let the office know if you are willing to be added to any servant role. Thank you.

Beware of Scams - from the GSLC Technology Committee

FBI issues warning on new twist to a tactic targeting elderly used by tech support scammers — How to stay safe. We love our phones, email and computers, but always be alert.

Print and place near your phone and computer to remind you to follow these tips to avoid getting tricked:

• Never download software at the request of an unknown individual who contacted you.
• Never allow an unknown individual who contacted you to have control of your computer.
• Do not click on unsolicited pop-ups, links sent via text messages, email links, or attachments. Do not contact the phone number in a pop-up, text, or email.
• Never send cash via mail or shipping companies.
• Don't be lured by a sense of urgency, think before acting
• Never answer questions that immediately require a "yes" or "no" as the start of any phone conversation
• If unsure of caller's intentions, just hang up
• Verify all credentials by going directly to a source you originate. Use information you know to verify any information.

This week's bountiful harvest donated to Forever Fed for the food insecure in our own community. Thanks be to God!

CARING FOR CREATION

Next meeting: Wednesday, August 9, at 7:00 p.m. on Teams. To help care for God’s glorious creation contact church office or Reba Sumner. All are welcome!

NEW RECYCLING INITIATIVE: Do you have prescription medicine bottles that you would like put to good use? We are now collecting these to send to Matthew 25 Ministries where they are used to dispense prescription medicines to patients in third world countries where they are much needed. Please place these in the designated box in the Fellowship Hall. Bottles must be clean and all labels removed. Thank you for your help.

Do you have leftover paint in your garage that you do't know what to do with? We have investigated responsible ways to recycle leftover paint. The Cherokee County Recycling Center on Blaylock Road will accept cans of paint for recycling. Their fee is $5.00 for a one gallon bucket and $10.00 for a five gallon bucket. 

GARDEN OF GRACE: Our garden continues to produce vegetables for the food insecure in our own communty. We are now harvesting okra as well as tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers. If you have vegetables from your own garden that you would like to donate, please leave in the Fellowship Hall and we will add them to our harvest. Our garden pickers work hard picking vegetables at least twice per week. Thanks be to God!

Our POLLINATOR GARDEN is blooming beautifully and attracting lots of Butterflies, bees and other pollinators.

On a sad note, we have seen some vandalism in our garden (vegetables picked and smashed, etc.). We believe this may be done by teens who may have nothing else to do. We ask for your prayers. When you are at Good Shepherd, please drive by the Garden. We are checking into the feasibility of lights focused on the garden.

WE NEED COMMITTEE MEMBERS - Please Consider this Opportunity!

The Worship and Music Committee is looking for interested persons to join this committee. In addition, we are are looking for someone the act as the chairperson for the committee. If you are interested or would like more information, please contact the church office or either of our music professionals, Pam or Thomas.
