Dear Friends in Christ,
For the past year, many Good Shepherd members have been bringing offerings to the Lord for the ministry of our church and school through electronic giving. In an effort to simplify the process for others who might wish to make use of it, we are now offering this service to our people through the “Simply Giving” program through Vanco Services of Thrivent Financial Bank. This was recently approved by our Ministry Coordinating Council.
If you have any questions about this program, please contact our Mission Resources coordinator Bill Merchantz for more details. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration of this opportunity to support the work our Savior has given us here at Good Shepherd.
The Good Shepherd Ministry Coordinating Council
“Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.” 2 Corinthians 9:7,8.
