VETERANS' DAY OBSERVANCES

VETERANS' DAY will be celebrated at both services next Sunday, November 16, at Good Shepherd.
Uniforms are optional, as you prefer. All military and Federal agency vets are encouraged to attend.

ALSO

Good Shepherd Episcopal School will hold a special Veterans' Day Celebration, this Tuesday, November 11, at 8:15 a.m. in Kincaid Pavilion

We welcome everyone to this celebration, but send out a special invitation to all Veterans!! We would love to introduce our students to the 'heroes among us," so please plan to attend. There will be a special guest, Captain Brian Farlow, the father of two of our students. He has recently returned from a tour in Afghanistan and will share a video that he made during his tour of duty. The entire program should last no more than 45 minutes and will be a meaningful way to remember all those who have served to protect our nation.-Chaplain Rhonda
