The Winter Shelter Friendship Dinner has been scheduled Wednesday, May 21 at 6 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church (820 Colonial Ave). This is a special evening for winter shelter volunteers and guests to reunite and celebrate the friendships we've built. Please see the attached invitation for details.

The Church Mouse would love to receive those gently used or new items that you no longer need or never used. This is a good time of the year to do a little cleaning as you pull out summer decorations or you replace your winter clothes with summer clothes. Just as a reminder, we take accessories, cooking, dining, and serving items, books, puzzles, and games. If you have used Christmas cards that you no longer want, we would love to turn them into something useful and beautiful. If you have bits and pieces of unused Christmas cards, we will take those also. And, as always, come visit. You never know what treasure you will find!

Easter Vigil Recap: Over 150 people gathered for the second annual Norfolk collaborative Easter Vigil at Good Shepherd! We lit the Paschal fire; we rocked the house with joyful music. There was no missing the arrival of Easter-- we marked its arrival with confetti canons, noisemakers, lights and dancing. Enjoy the Vigil video here: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1AKqFxY1mu/
