Vestry implements new fundraising guidelines

The Vestry has important news for the congregation concerning church fundraising. After a long period of discernment and discussion, at its November meeting, the Vestry has adopted guidelines for fundraising and fundraising events at Good Shepherd.

We have taken this step to ensure a positive fundraising environment, aligned with the church’s mission, and enhanced by Vestry support. Our church is growing and we want to encourage all our ministries in their fundraising endeavors with clear goals, communication and outcomes.

What this means for Good Shepherd ministries and members: You are asked to please read the Guidelines and complete the Request, providing a copy of the Request to the Vestry at least eight weeks prior to the date of your proposed fundraiser. The principal fundraiser(s) will also be asked to attend a Vestry meeting to discuss the proposed fundraiser.

You can read both The Guidelines and Request Form now at this link, and clicking on the button for each in the sidebar.

Thank you to all the fundraisers and donors who exemplify the giving spirit here.
