† THANK YOU As we go into 2019, we just wanted to tell our Good Shepherd family once again how proud and thankful we are to be a part of our church. This year has been full of joy and many learning opportunities for Lars and I. From everyone welcoming our second little boy into the world through prayers of a healthy baby and safe arrival, to the wonderful meals that were provided by loving hands through Megan’s meal planning. For most appreciated prayers, cards, gifts, and love for Otto this summer. And anyone and everyone who has helped chase or corral Otto or held Ozzy while I was busy with other tasks. For all of the amazing men who have held umbrellas, or parked our car in the pouring rain. To each of the wonderful people who have taken time to encourage our family and tell us how well we are doing. We love and appreciate each of you. ~ Lars, Abbi, Otto & Ozias D.
