March Ramblings

One of the things that impressed Hank and I when we first visited Good Shepherd 7 years ago was the generosity of its members. When we were looking for a new church home, we would read the annual report of the churches we were visiting to get a sense of the congregation’s mission and vision. When we read Good Shepherd’s annual report for 2002, we were impressed by the various ways the members gave–not just money, but by donating goods and time. Granted, a lot of this was through the Red Basket Room, but you all have to give to make it successful.

I am bringing this up because of the recent appeal for the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. Once again, the members have come through again to help those in need. I was hoping we would raise $500 and obtain a 50% match by Thrivent for a total of $750. You donated over $1500, and with Thrivent’s match, we raised over $2200 for the relief effort. Factor in the hygiene kits that were assembled (over 100 by church members and additional ones by Worthmore students) and for a church the size of Good Shepherd, I am very proud of what happened here the last few weeks.
