 It Makes Our Hearts Glad... ...that Katy Arnold came to church last Sunday with her new baby, Harold Osborn Arnold IV, born on June 29. ...that Daughters of the King and other Good Shepherd members provided a lovely reception following the burial service for the Rev. Deacon Janie Catron on Wednesday. Ann Plummer coordinated the reception, an expression of our hospitality to Janie's family and friends. "It Makes Our Hearts Glad" provides a way for members and friends to strengthen the fabric of our community by sharing good news or offer affirmations. The word "glad" is derived from Old and Middle English words meaning shining or bright. Add to the weekly "Glad Report" by email or by calling 859.252.1744. |
