The interest income on the base of the fund endowment, combined with donations enable the ministry to respond to significant needs. Parishioners can contribute to the Pslam 23 fund by using the monthly pink envelope or by writing checks to “Good Shepherd Psalm 23” and leaving them in the office. Contributions to the Honduras Project can be made by check or Electronic Funds Transfer payable to Good Shepherd with the designation of the ‘Honduras Project’. None of these worthwhile activities would be possible without the ongoing generosity of you, the parishioners of Good Shepherd. Thank you!
