FUN FOR ALL AGES PLUS A MEAL!   

You are invited to join us for a weekly meal on
Wednesdays beginning February 17 at 5:30 p.m. as part of the Lenten experience.  

We will be serving soup and sandwiches from 5:30-7 pm. You can stop in for your meal at any time. There is no charge (optional donations will be accepted the day of the event).

During this time, we will also be working on a variety of service projects to help those in need - including tying fleece blankets for the homeless and children in foster care, drawing pictures and writing letters of encouragement to shut-ins, and tying paracord bracelets for Operation Gratitude. 

ALL AGES are welcome - no experience necessary!

If you have older children who need SERVICE HOURS for their school, this is a great opportunity for them!

School Family Referrals

As you may have heard, Pinecrest Schools will be closing all five of their campuses at the end of this school year. Do you know any families that attend Pinecrest Schools?

At Shepherd, we know that the best way to spread the word about our school is through the recommendations of our parents to family, friends, and neighbors. Please share your SOV experience with others, especially any Pinecrest families that could benefit from being part of the Shepherd family.

Shepherd is pleased to accept referrals at any time. With our open enrollment policy, students can be admitted throughout the school year.

If you know of any families looking for options for their children, please let us know. Thank you in advance.

My Scrip Wallet

Since MyScripWallet launched last year, we've heard from thousands of scrip shoppers who love ordering scrip on their phones. We've received a lot of good feedback too, and one of our most requested features is access to your ShopWithScrip Shopping Lists in MyScripWallet.

Well starting today, your Shopping Lists
are at your fingertips!

At ShopWithScrip.com, you can create Shopping Lists for items you order regularly. For example, you can make lists with gift cards for your weekly gas and grocery shopping. Now in MyScripWallet you can view the ScripNow and Reload items on your Shopping Lists, and add them all to your cart at once for a speedy checkout.
