Donations needed for NEW Music Room RUG
- Help Us Create a Welcoming Space for Sunday School. As we continue growing and improving our Sunday School program, we are hoping to purchase a large, colorful rug for the Opening & Music Room.
- This space is used each week for gathering, singing, learning, and building community together, and a welcoming rug would help create a comfortable and inviting environment for our children.
- The cost of the rug is approximately $600, and we are looking for monetary donations to help fund this purchase.
- If you would like to contribute, please mark your gift for Sunday School Rug Fund or contact Chelsea in the church office.
- Thank you for supporting the faith formation of the children at Good Shepherd!
