Good Afternoon!
How did you like our Halloween trick of snow flying? For some it may be a treat, but not for me! Winter took too long to go away this Spring, and shouldn't be back already. My "trick" for you was sending this report out today instead of on my usual Thursday reporting date. Did you miss getting it yesterday?

Reignite is now the name for our 90 Day Teams. Come help reignite Good Shepherd Church on November 6th. Their meeting is at 7pm at the church. All are invited to join in helping mold the future of Good Shepherd Church. There are different areas of interest that would welcome additional support. Come join the meeting and offer your assistance.
Audit help needed! If you can give us some time to help audit the church financial records, please contact Carrie Worthington for details. We are now doing quarterly audits of accounts.
Are you interested in Crafts? We have a group that meets together at church to work on their various craft projects, as well as socializing and sharing their "crafty" abilities. Stop by and bring your project(s) along! All are always welcome.
Manna November order forms are due on Sunday. Since we will be visiting other churches on the 9th of November, you can get your order at Bible Study on Wednesday, or arrange to pick it up in the office during the week. (Call before coming.) Manna cards are a safe way to spend without carrying cash or worrying about your credit card being hacked by a security breach. There are several vendor cards that will suit everyone's needs, and they make excellent gifts as well. Best of all, you only pay the face value of the card and never have any extra fees added. We realized an $84.62 profit in October. Check out the newest form and consider placing an order. Please call the office (815-886-4354) if you have any questions about the program and we'll be glad to help. Thanks!
Do you know of anyone interested in having a table at our third annual Vendor's Fair coming to Good Shepherd on November 15th? Plans are underway now with the cost of a table being $25 plus 10% (or more) of the actual sales. Sale hours are 9am to 2pm with set-up beginning at 8am. Please have anyone contact Judy Jordan or Lori Haack for further details and/or a Vendor's contract. We have several vendors who have scheduled to participate in this year's event. The more we have, the greater the opportunity for a variety of special one of a kind gifts. Plan to be there for this unique gift-buying experience, and bring others with you as well!
We surprised Pastor Wednesday night with a cake, cards, and cash for Pastor Appreciation Month. Maybe you saw the pictures on Facebook. A good time was had by all who attended, and Pastor was grateful to everyone. You could say she appreciated the appreciation!
Remember to check Good Shepherd's Facebook page for the latest news or updates, as well as calling the church office (815-886-4354) for information. Be sure to leave a message if there's no answer and someone will get back to you. Also, please email me (revassistant@gmail.com) if you prefer not to get this weekly What's Happening report.
I am wishing peace, hope, love, faith, grace, health and warmth for everyone. Remember to set your clocks back an hour Saturday night!
