2026 Church Council
Good Shepherd has a strong tradition of lay leadership. We have had a couple of people agree to be on the June 2026 ballot. We are still looking for members to fill the position of President, Secretary and someone has agreed to fill the treasurer position but is also willing to let someone else fill the position if they have a strong desire to do so. These are big roles in our church. The church treasurer in particular has a lot of responsibility. The treasurer needs to be comfortable with numbers, but they do not need to be an accountant. We also are looking for members that would be willing to fill a position of offering counter. Support and training provided. Please prayerfully consider these positions, and if you are considering serving, talk to the members currently filling these roles or reach out to Carla Horner.

As I drive away from Good Shepherd for the final time as your Interim Pastor I am filled with gratitude for the opportunity to journey with you. Thank you for inviting me into your lives these past three year. Thank you for loving me with God’s love and praying for Andrea in our Leukemia Journey. Your notes mean so much to me, and I will treasure the stole that you made, and so many of you signed.
