Beloved of Good Shepherd Church,

Grace to you and peace in Jesus Christ our Lord!

I am pretty sure 2026 is going to be a really good year. We’re going to build a parish hall together, we’re going to baptize a whole bunch of new Christians together, we’re going to learn together, grow together, laugh together, we’ll probably cry together at several points along the way, we’ll sing together, and best of all we’ll love God and each other….together. 

The heart of Christianity is our togetherness. It’s all about community. The really good thing about Good Shepherd is that we are a community of people who love God and each other and want to go deeper in our relationships with God and each other in love. It’s just that simple. It really is. If we keep it simple - love is all - 2026 will be a really good year.

Remember this always - God loves you, and I love you too!

Love is all, 

Hendree+
