Shepherd’s Own is in need of additional voices. If you have time to commit to a regular schedule of rehearsals and performances, a good ear for acapella harmony, and enjoy singing praises to the Lord, you are most welcome to join this group. Please speak with John Nicholas or any other Shepherd’s Own member if you are interested or need additional information.

† SUMMER QUARTER OFFERINGS The offerings from Adult Bible class/Sunday School and VBS for the summer quarter are going to Watered Gardens Gospel Rescue Missions in Joplin. A donation of $15.00 provides one bed for one night. For that amount, a shower, hygiene items, a set of clothing/shoes, a bed and laundry facilities are provided. Our offerings for the quarter totaled over $800.00. That money will provide over 50 nights for someone in need! How awesome, thanks for your generosity!

† ASSISTIVE LISTENING If you are having a hard time hearing the service, assistive listening devices are available from the ushers. They work like a transistor radio and you can control the volume.
