COOKBOOK FUNDRAISER The high school youth group has decided to compile a Church of the Good Shepherd Cookbook. We hope to collect all of your best recipes and organize them into a church cookbook that can be sold as a fundraiser for the summer mission trip to South Carolina. So we need everyone to submit their best recipes so that we can create a great cookbook. We know you all know how to cook because we have sampled many of your great foods at our previous youth events so we just need you to send us those great recipes. If you are able please email your recipes to Sarah Atkinson at s_feldmeyer@yahoo.com or place them in her church mailbox.
FIRST AID CLASS Adult CPR class to be offered on Saturday, August 7, from 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. If interested, call or e-mail. I will be in touch on 8/1. Thanks, Paula Nourse 740-549-0623 or email: kinder6595@hotmail.com
