Thanksgiving Turkeys

Thanksgiving – a time of sharing and caring. Please donate to help those less fortunate. Thanksgiving meals for families in need. If you are able, please donate towards our “Family Thanksgiving Dinner”. We need turkeys (please not over 18 lbs), ham, and funds. You can purchase gift cards after worship service, or donate towards gift cards by using the envelopes on the table in the Narthex marked Thanksgiving. Please have turkey and money here NO later than November 15th. If you have any questions, please contact the church office at office@gs4nj.org.

Ways to Financially Support Good Shepherd

Online Giving

Visit gs4nj.org/give to donate. You can donate with a credit card or have the funds debited from your checking account. You can also set up automated giving set up on a weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or twice-monthly basis.

Give NoW

Another option to give is text to give. Text any dollar amount to 84321. We will reply with a link to a quick, self-guided setup process to tie your mobile phone to our church, your donor account, and a payment source.

All of this is easily managed through an online account that is set up the first time you give. There is also an app that can be used to manage your giving. It is available on iOS and Android.

As always checks can also be mailed. Visit our contact page for our mailing address.

Amazon Smile

If you already shop at Amazon, it is easy to support our ministry. Instead of going to amazon.com to shop, just add “smile.” before amazon.com. So the link will be smile.amazon.com. Any time you make a purchase at this link 0.5% of your purchase will go to the charity of your choice. It may not be much, but it adds up over time and as more of us make use of this service. Please keep in mind that you need to use the smile link every time you make a purchase. If you go back to using the regular Amazon link or use the Amazon app, we will not get a donation with those purchases.

Shop Amazon Smile

Shop with Scrip

Scrip gift cards are available immediately following the Sunday worship in the Narthex. There are many cards to choose from and specific gift cards if you want. Be sure to ask what other cards are available. There are hundreds to choose from. We are grateful for all who have purchased these cards in support of our ministry. Be sure to stop and pick up a few cards.
