2 FOURTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Stewardship, A Way of Life Tithing God s Plan for Giving DUE TO THE WEEKLY BULLETIN DEADLINE BEING EARLY THIS PAST WEEK, THE JULY 2ND COLLECTION TOTALS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE TOTAL WILL BE LISTED NEXT WEEK, IN THE JULY 16TH BULLETIN, ALONG WITH THE JULY 9TH TOTALS. From the Pastor: Many thanks to those who have responded to the tithing appeal. Your generosity is deeply appreciated. From a Parishioner: Jesus has done so many good things for us in our lives...we are so grateful. Good Deed for the Week from an 8th Grader: I made a Happy Birthday Card for my Grandpa. REMEMBER GOOD SHEPHERD PARISH IN YOUR WILL REMINDER ALL PARISH ORGANIZATIONS are asked to submit their Meeting Schedule for the upcoming year in writing to the Parish Office ASAP beginning with your September dates. Deadline is JULY 10. Your dates will be entered on the Parish calendar on a firstcome, first-serve basis. MARK YOUR CALENDARS THE BLOODMOBILE will be in the Good Shepherd Parish Hall next Sunday, July 16, from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Come out to support our Parish Blood Drive. Financial Snapshot You have no doubt been noticing in the Bulletin that Sunday giving is down significantly this fiscal year, which ended June 30. Through May 31 (last month of reports from the Diocese of Harrisburg), Sunday and Holyday collections are down $66,000 to last fiscal year and $75,000 down to May of 2015; not a good two year trend. It is worth noting that while the parish has 1,776 registered families, only approximately 700 give regularly via church envelopes or the online giving platform. The average weekly (Sunday) gift of regular givers is $25 or $1,300 per year. The parish has made great strides with satisfying our building debt, but it is important that the parish reverses this downward trend in Sunday giving. Please give serious consideration to recurring offertory donations online through WeShare or setting up check generation/mailing from your bank account. The parish is not charged a service fee when you set up donations through your financial institution. May God bless all of you for sharing your gifts to whatever extent. Father Phil Just in case you missed this article in the last bulletin: LIZ HECKMAN As the parish community of Good Shepherd Parish and Saint Theresa Parish, we welcome Liz Heckman to our staff. We hired Liz to be Director of our Life Teen Ministry which will begin by the end of August. She earned her BA at St. Francis University in Loretto, PA, and she earned a MA in Theology and a certificate in Pastoral Ministry at Villanova University in Villanova, PA. The Catholic Community of St. Matthias in New Jersey, most recently had the opportunity to work with Liz as she took on the role of Pastoral Associate for Youth and Young Adult Ministry. In the coming year, she will be entering into the beautiful Sacrament of Matrimony, to a man from our area, in Enola. Please join the clergy and staff of Good Shepherd and Saint Theresa Parishes in welcoming her to PA and our Parishes. WELCOME ABOARD, LIZ!
