From Miss Renee

Dear Good Shepherd families.

Fifteen years ago, I answered God’s call to join the Good Shepherd staff as the Children and Family Minister. It has been an honor and a privilege to be in ministry with you. You have helped me grow as a person and a pastor in so many ways, and I am grateful for you. One of my greatest joys in ministry has been nurturing your children in their faith and loving them unconditionally. Thank you for allowing me to be in your lives. I will cherish our time together and look forward to watching your children grow from afar.

May God’s blessings be upon you.

With much love and peace, 

Miss Renee


From Miss Whitney

Dear Good Shepherd Families,

I know how hard it is to say goodbye to Miss Renee. She has been a blessing in my life just as she has been a blessing in each of yours. However, I am grateful for this opportunity to answer God’s call and serve Good Shepherd as the Minister for Children and Family Discipleship. My pathway as a former teacher (in elementary school and, most recently, preschool) is not too dissimilar to the path Miss Renee took when she began serving here 15 years ago. I, too, have volunteered in children’s ministry here, and I’ve seen how my own children have been nurtured. I have felt a calling to serve God in expanding ways, and I’m so excited to serve the children and families at Good Shepherd in this role. I’m looking forward to continuing to get to know you and your children, and to being present to guide them on their faith journeys. It is a privilege and honor to be here with you.

Grace and Peace,

Miss Whitney
