Gentle Shepherd Chorus
The Gentle Shepherd Chorus wrapped up its season with a party in the choir room on April 22, 2008. Note the beautiful yellow cake that commemorates the occasion of the choir's First Year!
Pictured above is Dick Pailthorpe, Mary Anthony, Vera Tunstall, Merry Oestreich, Carol Henderson, Lois Smarella, Wanda Eickhoff, Dana Geesaman, Julia Altemose, and Mike Stroud.
This group of "gentle" singers meets on Tuesday afternoons from 1:30-2:45 in the Choir Room September-May. They have been able to sing at regular intervals for worship throughout the year. They have had fun and enjoyed laughing, praying and singing together each week. In the fall, their activity will resume and would love to have anyone come and join us for our sessions of commadeship on Tuesday afternoons.

Green Newsletters Available (puns intended)
In the survey from the Media Ministry last year, a number of you indicated that you would be interested in receiving the monthly newsletter online in place of a paper copy via postal mail. Others expressed interest in continuing to receive a paper copy. We plan to accommodate both groups. If you would like to continue receiving a paper newsletter, you do not need to do anything. It will continue to arrive in your mailbox around the first of the month. However, should you prefer to view the newsletter online and / or download it yourself, please click on this link where you can provide your name and email address. We will send an email notification when the newsletter becomes available online (usually a week before the paper copy arrives). Viewing the newsletter online saves our resources (green) and also provides you a better experience with color (green and the rest of the colors) and with better photographs.

Habitat for Humanity House Started!
Groundbreaking for the Good Shepherd 25th Anniversary Home took place on February 9. An enthusiastic crowd of volunteers was there to start off the 20 week project. If you weren't able to attend, take a look at the pictures from the event and see what you missed out on.
We will need approximately 15 volunteers each week for the next 19 Saturdays. Jobs will be available for all skill levels. No previous construction experience is needed. Our hope is to divide this 20 week project into 5 teams. That way each team is responsible for no more than 4-5 weeks.Contact Will Remaklus if you are interested remaklus@bellsouth.net). More detailed information including work calendar, what to bring, when to arrive, etc. may be downloaded at this link.
Weekly email updates will be sent on Fridays by Brenda Dozer, if you would
