FORWARD DAY BY DAY

Copies of Forward Day By Day books for November, December, and January are in the narthex and in the parish office.

BLOOD DRIVE

The Blood Alliance has asked that we have the mobile unit do a blood drive here at Good Shepherd. (We stopped doing our quarterly drives because we couldn't get enough people to give). Please, if you can commit to give blood on January 11th, tell Dale Taylor so she can advise them if we have enough donors. They desperately need blood, so if you possibly can, please do! Dale's phone number is 390-0459, cell 887-6587, if you miss her after church.

ERIN KISTNER

A kidney donor has been found for Erin Kistner. The surgeries will be performed on January 6. Blood donors are desperately needed. At least one hundred units of blood will be needed on reserve. Anyone can donate, regardless of blood type. Blood donations can be made at any Florida Georgia Blood Alliance location. Please specify that the blood be reserved for the Erin Kistner account, #6445.
