Dear Friends,

Happy New Year! Not only is it hard to believe that it is the beginning of 2020! A whole new decade!

The year 2019 is now behind us. It was a great time to be a part of Good Shepherd! I would like to thank Jim Thompson and our Church Council for their faithful leadership. We have so many people who serve in different areas of our shared ministry. Thank you for whatever part you played and for whatever difference you made. 

We have also been blessed with our wonderful staff this year. Julie keeps generating great ideas for ministry. Kathy Edison began as our Office Administrator. Carol Sullivan deserves a huge thank you for her steadfast training of Administrative Assistants over the years. Ron and Susan have continued to provide inspirational worship music. We really are fortunate to have the staff we do. I feel honored to serve with them.

As we move forward into the 2020’s we do so with the faith that God continues to call us to great things. Our community is a better place because our church existed in 2019. It will be exciting to see how we respond and in which directions God calls us this year.

Wherever this decade takes us I am grateful to God for you! I look forward to sharing the love of Jesus with you!

God’s Peace,

Pastor Ted
