Help Ukranian Refugees
Episcopal Relief & Development is partnering with Anglican agencies and other ecumenical partners to provide humanitarian aid in response to the crisis caused by the war in Ukraine. Donations to the International Disaster Response Fund will help meet critical needs for people fleeing the violence, including food, cash, blankets and hygiene supplies.

Altar Flowers
Altar flowers may be ordered for $80/pair in memoriam, in thanksgiving, or for any other desired occasion. Two or more people can also share the cost of flowers if desired. To order flowers, please send your flower request (colors, flower types) to Elaine Richau at Wegmom54@aol.com. Your dedication for the service leaflet should be sent to officegoodshep@gmail.com. Payment should be made through the Sunday collection or mailed to the church. Please reference ‘Altar Flowers’ in the description.

Don’t forget to save your Dash’s receipts. Since we started turning in our Dash’s cash register tapes, Good Shepherd has earned $750. 

Our food pantry is once again in need of grocery-sized paper bags. Bags may be left in the narthex or on the tables in the back of Jewett Hall. Thank you!
