From the 90 Days Finance Team - Hopefully you received your "Gifts for Growth" challenge letter in the mail, along with the sample letter to share with friends.  We want to invite you to personalize that sample letter.  So, in an effort to make it easy, we're attaching it to this email.  Feel free to use it and, if you need help, contact Pastor Suzanne and she'll be happy to help.

The 90-Days Fundraising Team has asked that you start gathering your gently used good quality items for our Garage $ale that will be held August 15-16 at church.  Please contact Lori Haack, Judy Jordan, Bob Kirkland, Dawn Myers, or Wendy Ploense for information.  

The 90 Days Inreach Team is putting together plans to do a monthly prayer meeting where we would gather to lift up prayers of our church family, as well as prayers for the community, and more.  If you'd be interested in participating in this group, please contact Roy Jamason.

The 90-Days Outreach Team is coordinating a booth for RomeoFest.  Please talk to George Sanchez about signing up to represent Good Shepherd at their booth.  This year on Saturday morning, we also need volunteers to help with special needs children.  There are timeslots in 2 hour intervals on each day, and all help would be welcomed and appreciated.

There's your latest update of the 90 Day Challenge teams.  Thanks so much to all of those who are giving of their time and talents in support of the Good Shepherd family.  It's heartwarming fun to come together to share God's blessings as a family and in the community as well.

Women's Care Group – Are you looking for a place to share the woes of your day or get some support on a more intimate basis with other church women?  If you're interested in the group and want more information, please contact either Carrie Worthington or Rosemary Darguzis.  Their next meeting will be on Monday, July 14th at 7:15pm.  Location to be determined. 

Preschool Registration is going on now!  If you know of anyone interested in getting information or enrolling their 3 year old and/or 4 year old child(ren) in our Preschool program for the 2014-2015 school year, have them call the church office at 815-885-4354.  Thanks!

My granddaughter just stopped in with a friend on their way to get a free Slurpie at 7-11 because today is 7-11.  I didn't know they did that.  Stop in your local 7-11 for yours!

I'm wishing you, as always, peace, faith, hope, love, grace and health.  Have a wonderful weekend!
