The menu this week includes ham, eggs, hash browns, biscuits, coffee, cereal, and milk. For more information, contact Dr. Bliss at rbjaxfl@bellsouth.net or 387-4827.

How YOU can help – Assist with Breakfast
Dr. Bliss invites you to help with the breakfast the last Sunday of each month. There is preparation, cooking, serving, clean-up and of course eating. For more information, contact Dr. Bliss at rbjaxfl@bellsouth.net or 387-4827.

Thank you, Choirs
We are fortunate to have our choirs, youth and adult, enhance our worship services. Please let them know that you appreciate the many hours of rehearsal and performance they give to Good Shepherd.

Luncheons for 8
Dinners for 8 have been special events for the last several years. We gather in a home to enjoy a meal and fellowship with other members of our parish. Some have said that they prefer to participate in a luncheon instead of a dinner. If you are interested in attending a Luncheon for 8 instead of a Dinner for 8 please contact Susan Merrett at ssmerrett@comcast.net or 387-3418. Also, please let us know if you are interested in having a Luncheon for 8 in your home.
