Forward Together Stories: Gordon and Susan Trafton
Sometime in 2019, we walked into the narthex at GS for the very first time and were greeted with open arms and welcoming smiles. This was the invitation and confirmation we needed to make Good Shepherd our new church home.
Coincidently, it is one of the first things we talk about when we describe our church, and this first encounter was a catalyst to our becoming members and joining the Welcome team at Good Shepherd to continue the important ministry of bringing others to Christ’s door. But there are so many other ways Good Shepherd serves its members and our community.
We especially love that GS offers many opportunities to study the Bible as well as programs of personal interest and support. This is a church that cares for each other. This is an exciting time in the life of our church. We are all called to move Forward together in our faith.
God calls us to step up, wherever we may be in our lives.

“Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit”. Galatians 5:25.
God is on the move here at Good Shepherd, and we believe it. We choose to invest and support in the Forward Generosity initiative because we want to do our part in serving God, be a part of something that reflects God’s love and makes a difference.
We want GS to continue to be the church that opens their arms to more people to know God and His Word and to shine the light of God’s love into the next generation for our families, our neighbors and beyond. We can all look forward to the salvation God has promised us. We can respond in gratitude through generosity in sharing our gifts, our love, our prayers and walking together toward the future. “We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to His purpose”. Romans 8:28.
Exciting things can happen when we all work together for the common good and trust God to make the way!
