There’s always something happening at Good Shepherd.

Bushels of Love in November will go to Angel Tree Giving. Though there are no angels on a tree this year, giving is still what we are called to do for people in need. In that spirit during November, winter gloves, hats, and socks will be gratefully received and later handed out at the Grace Meal in December. No wrapping is necessary. Though we still encourage donations for both women, and children, the biggest need is collecting those items for men.
