It has been pouring!
Both literally and figuratively, the rain has been pouring and the blessings have, too! Last month we got a grant from the Junior Service League in Midwest City, we are now members of the Midwest City Chamber of Commerce, and….WE GOT A VAN! So much more to come! It’s because of you and the community that it is all possible. “What is in your heart is the overflow of how you live your life.” I just heard that this week. Think about it. And guess what? SHEP has a heart the size of the galaxy for the community.
We’ve been telling you about IamDB. Now it’s time to take action. Our first IamDB event is this month. Got questions? Ask away! We are still gathering interested individuals in the program. Just ask Vicky and we will get you all squared away.
We have a lot of events coming up! Be sure to check the calendar. A reminder is below.
We have some staff birthdays coming up!
We would love to give you a shout out for your birthdays as well! Send us an email letting us know about your birthday, anniversary, or any special event so we can show love and shout you out. We love pictures, too! so throw those in the email if you so please!
Stop and smell the roses. Come out with us!
