Update on the Shepherd’s Hall HVAC Fundraiser
We’re now at $12,900–over halfway to our goal of $22,000 to replace one of the two AC units in Shepherd’s Hall. With summer almost here (and high temperatures already here, replacing this unit before we overwhelm the working unit is a must.
Please prayerfully consider donating to this necessary expenditure.
Shepherd’s Hall A/C news
We’ve passed the halfway point on this fundraiser. We have $12,840 of the $22,000 needed to replace one of the two A/C units in the building.
Please prayerfully consider giving to this effort. One A/C unit cannot keep the Hall cool in our hot summer weather and, with prices on everything rising, the sooner we can replace the bad unit, the better stewards we will be.

Fundraisers For Memorial Garden Expansion Fence and Replacement of Shepherd’s Hall A/C unit
The Board of Directors has recommended raising funds to expand and fence our Memorial Garden. We have many loved ones in there already and would like to continue to keep this open for our future loved ones. The cost to have the fence built is $3,700.
They also recommended raising funds to replace one of the A/C units in Shepherd’s Hall. The cooler weather now is not too much of a strain on the other unit, but summer is coming. The cost of a new A/C unit is $22,000
Please keep these fundraisers inyour prayers as you make your regular contributions to Good Shepherd. If you decide to give, please mark your envelope for the fund to which you wish your donation to go.
We have two big goals. With God’s help and guidance, we will be successful in raising the funds needed. Thank You
Weekly updates will be posted in the bulletin and website.
