Embrace Stewardship.
Give Generously because God Gives Generously. This week’s scripture readings teach us that living as Christian stewards requires us to swim against the tide of our “me-first” culture and stake out a path for our lives that may be different from that of our neighbors, friends or co-workers. This week, ask the Lord for the wisdom to see the "little ones" -- the vulnerable-- in your community and to show you concretely how you can reach out to them. (Catholic Stewardship Consultants) DID YOU KNOW?? … that Council and Committee meetings of the parish are generally open to all parishioners? If you would like to attend a meeting to find out more about what's going on or to possibly join the committee in its work, check your parish ministry directory for meeting times and contacts. Ministry Directories are available on the welcome/info wall in the gathering area.
Open Letter to Parishioners,
For the past several months, members of our parish leadership – committee/council
chairs, deacons, GSC staff, and school representatives – have been meeting and
identifying priorities and actions to address the financial and spiritual needs of
Good Shepherd Church and School.
Our ‘Stop/Start/Continue’ initiative began in June, at which time the top priorities
were identified. In July, all committees and councils met – and all parishioners
were invited to attend any of these meetings to suggest action steps for each
priority. The core leadership again met in August to review action steps and to
assign responsible entities and timetables for accomplishment. To this end, we
established an Implementation Team that will track and communicate progress on
tasks assigned.
A full listing of priorities and action steps may be found on the Good Shepherd
website www.frankfortgoodshepherd.org
I am personally heartened by the dedication shown by our leadership to proactively
address the challenges we face as a parish. But leadership cannot carry out our
mission alone. I am, therefore, asking all parishioners to take the time to read the
report and participate in the many activities you will hear about via the bulletin or
other announcements. Ask questions! Attend council and committee meetings
when you can! Volunteer!
The current priorities and action steps are only the beginning of what will be a
continuous process for leadership to identify issues and actions that will strengthen
the financial and spiritual well being of Good Shepherd Parish.
I ask all of you to be a part of this challenging and uplifting experience.
Gratefully in Christ,
Fr. Charles

BE ONE OF THE 72! Efforts to have 72 (or more) people at Good Shepherd to pray an hour a week in Church are off to a wonderful start! We had 52 people sign up last weekend. Details and sign up forms are in Gathering Space. Come any time the church is open--no need to come the same time each week. Church will be open additional hours to accommodate people who cannot come during the day during the week. Pray weekly until New Year's Day, 2019. Pray for spiritual renewal in yourself, your family, our parish, and the whole Church. Sign in each time you complete your hour. This is called the Prayer of the 72 because, when Jesus wanted to spread the Kingdom, he sent 72 ordinary people (like us!) out to do great things. When people of faith join together, great things happen! FLOWER DONATIONS: We still have several weekends this year that do not have flowers donated for use in the sanctuary. Please consider remembering a loved one or a special occasion with a special tribute of flowers. Please call Kevin in the Parish Office if you are able to help.
