Our church is joining forces with the Colorado Episcopal Foundation and many other churches in our Diocese to raise funds through More-than-a-Match! The Foundation, as many Episcopal organizations, has allotted .7% of their annual budget towards the support of the Millennium Development Goals. In order to maximize the funds, they’ve launched a match campaign. They will match donations from throughout the Diocese, up to $12,000.
The funds will go to the Colorado Haiti Project’s Three Bishops Fund’s Water Project (providing potable and irrigation water in Petit Trou de Nippes in Haiti) and the re-construction of a burned down primary school in war-torn Abyei, Sudan (area supported by the Sudanese Community Church, a special congregation within our Diocese). The goal is easy to accomplish. If 60 churches decide to raise $200 (or more), that means $24,000 total will be distributed among these organizations. Church of the Good Shepherd has decided to raise $200.00. We will do so through a “Loose Change Offering” each Sunday. If you would like more information about this campaign, you can contact Linda Council, councilcolinda@comcast.net . All the participating churches will be recognized during the Diocesan Convention in October, giving us a chance to let the rest of the Diocese know what we are doing.
Join us as we help fulfill the Millennium Development Goals right here from our church.
Our worship music is accompanied by one or two keyboards. We also have Charlie, our music director, on the guitar and Marianne on violin. Luis has joined as a bass cellist, and Bonnie is providing strong, lovely vocals. Sometimes Charlie has guest musicians supplement with viola, or trumpet.
