CURRENT NEWS
From Randy
Greetings,
It has been great to be with family and enjoy the excitement of Livingston, Montana and the beauty of Paradise Valley. We are now in Helena just a couple of blocks from the state capital and enjoying the views of the surrounding mountains and the Sleeping Giant. Tonight, we are going to be celebrating my dad's 87th Birthday. Lots of fun.
With you on the Journey,
Randy

Thanks to All Those Who Came to Last Month's Movie Night...
What a great time we had! The next Movie Night is Wednesday, August 6, at 5:30 pm and we'll be viewing, "A Bug's Life". This film is about, "a misfit ant, looking for 'warriors' to save his colony from greedy grasshoppers, recruits a group of bugs that turn out to be an inept circus troupe" (IMDB). And i can't think of a better movie for this amazing community! See you then!
Our Office Administrator, Amy...
Our Office Administrator, Amy, has been with the Good Shepherd Church for 18 years and has decided to retire at the end of August. She has always been there for us in so many ways so as she moves into her next phase of life, we will recognize her for all of her years of service to the Good Shepherd on Sunday, August 24 at Fellowship Hour. As part of that recognition, we will be presenting her with a check from a whip around. If you would like to contribute to the whip around for Amy, make out the check to TGSUCC and put whip around in the comment line. You can place your check in the Church offering plate or mail to Rick Irvin, c/o of The Good Shepherd Church, 17750 S. La Canada, Sahuarita, AZ 85629. Arrangements have been made for Rick to collect all of the checks and work with Mark Clark. Any questions, contact, Rick.
Thank you in advance for your generosity.

Ignore Strange Texts, E-mails,
and calls from “Pastors”
Ongoing awareness is needed to avoid scams. Pastors
and churches all across the country are experiencing being misrepresented in texts, emails, and calls. Unfortunately, it is nearly impossible to track down and stop these criminals. Please notify Randy, or the Church, if you receive one of these messages - please also report them as spam to your email or phone provider. And, by all means, never go out and buy Gift Cards and send codes by text or over e-mail.Pastors will never ask for funds through emails or texts.
Pastor Randy (bienshphrd@aol.com) and Pastor ellie (revelliegsucc@gmail.com) are available during the week. You may email them set up an appointment
for in-person or Zoom meetings.
Office Manager Debra DeCius is in the church office Monday through Thursday from 9:30am to 1:30pm. Phone messages or e-mails are still the best way
to communicate with the office (email TheGoodShepherdUCCOffice@gmail.com).
