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
