Pastor Suzanne is on vacation until July 29. During this time, if you have a church or pastoral emergency, please be sure to contact our Council President, Sue Hattimer at 815-592-6741 or Council Member, Judy Jordan at 815-210-9967. If you have questions about the church calendar, events, etc., please contact me, your Pastoral Assistant, in the church office at 815-886-4354. Pastor Suzanne will not be checking her email or answering phone calls during her vacation. You might "see" her on Facebook, however, as she routinely posts pictures and updates about her trip. I can tell you that Steve and Justin joined Pastor, Courtney and Ryan yesterday and their plans today include D.C., Pentagon, Arlington, and the Capital. Please pray for safe travel for Pastor and her family and for rest and renewal as they vacation together.
Clothing Giveaway – Remember the Matthew 25 Group is looking for gently used clothing for our August 11 clothing giveaway. We are also looking for people to sort through the donated clothing, launder it, help us set up for the event, etc. Please contact Rose Darguzis for more information and/or the church office and see the sign-up on the Info Table at church.
LAST CHANCE! Creativity Unleashed - Our FREE arts experience will take place at the church Friday, July 20 from 7-9 p.m. If you are or know a youth in grades 6-12 that you think might be interested in this program, please give them the information. You can also contact Rose Darguzis, Heather Murphy, or Roy Jamason. Special thanks to Heather, Rose and Roy for sharing their artistic talents!
Romeofest - As you have already heard, we are gearing up for another year at Romeofest. Our church hosts a booth at the Fest and we're looking for volunteers to greet people at our booth, help children with crafts, raise awareness about the Malaria Campaign, and more. Good Shepherd will once again be leading Praise Worship on Sunday at 10am as well. Please see Chris Daniels or Carrie Worthington for more information on how you can get involved, represent and serve Good Shepherd Church. All are welcome!
Wishing you the blessings of peace, hope, joy, health, and love always. Remember we are just a phone call away if you need anything. Have a great weekend and stay cool!
