Community Care and Connection
Lutheran Care '12 Days of Giving' is back!
The families and students of Good Shepherd have always been generous at Christmas time in supporting the Lutheran Care Christmas Hampers. Lutheran Care’s Emergency Relief teams have shared which items their pantries are running desperately low on and what is helpful for families in need at Christmas time. You can find these items listed in the accompanying poster.
To get involved you are invited to find the items in your pantry or add an item to your shopping list, then send the donations to your child’s class on the day listed on the poster.
Next week we are looking for:
Monday - Cans of tinned fruit
Wednesday - Hygiene products
Friday - Cups/packs of instant noodles
While Lutheran Care are listing 12 different items to be collected over the 12 Days of Giving, we understand that some families may not be able to stretch their budget this far and we are grateful for any donations you are able to give. We look forward to the front office being filled with Christmas Hamper donations.

A Night of Fun and Fundraising!
Come along and experience the uplifting songs of the Well-Being Social Club (formerly known as the BordererS) It’ll be a ONE-OFF event that you’ll remember for many reasons. Not only will you be entertained, but you’ll also get to hear the enigmatic and amazing Bishop Michael Musale explain how he’s helping transform this part of Africa with YOUR help.
We’d also like to just reassure you that all of the monies raised will be going to sponsor the schoolkids in Turbo, Kenya to receive meals and to attend school.
Tickets - adults $25... Children free!

Why not invite someone along this week? You never know how you might change someone’s day (for the better) just by turning up and having a chat!
