The Rector's Ramblings...August 12, 2010

From The Rev. Dr. Robert C. Sawyer

I shared some good news in Church last Sunday about the fact that we had gone below $3,000,000 in our debt on the Duncan-Giersch Center.  We are now at $2,925,000.  I give thanks for the sacrificial giving of all who have helped to bring us from the original cost of the building of over $8,000,000.  We have come a long way but we still have more to do in order to pay off this debt.  To those of you who have made a pledge to the Center Campaign, I encourage you to continue to give to the fulfillment of that pledge.  If you did not pledge at the beginning of this campaign or you are new to Good Shepherd, I encourage you to prayerfully consider giving something to help keep us on the road to ending this debt.

There are some who believe we are now at the most difficult point in our journey to end our debt and that may be the case.  We have been through difficult times before in the history of Good Shepherd and have come through them because of the willingness of parishioners to stand together.  And that is the way it will be with this debt.  Let us all stand and work together in the name of Jesus, the true Good Shepherd of the flock.
