Imagine the loving touch of a certified nursing

assistant in a care center, a prayer shared with a

home care client or a Bible study among senior

living apartment residents. These are all examples of steps toward fulfilling the Good

Samaritan Society’s vision to create an environment where people are loved, valued and

at peace. Your contributions help us continue to take these steps and care for seniors in

the way they want to be cared for—with respect and dignity.

Items needed are listed below: Deodorant, Shower Gels, Shampoo, Shaving Cream for the men, Conditioners for the wom-

en, Body Spray, Hand Sanitizers, Hand Lotion, Toothbrushes and Toothpaste (small)

Thanks for helping us make a difference in the lives of seniors!

The Good Samaritan Society is a not-for-profit

organization.

Prayer List - Relatives & Friends:

THANK YOU We had a wonderful response to

our bake sale. The bakers gave us

so many desserts to pick from, and the buyers were

extravagant in their purchases. The bake sale is

used to help church members who may encounter

an unexpected emergency. Thanks again for your

support!

The Social Ministry Committee

SOLD OUT!!! We really appreciate all

of the support the Bell

Choir received selling their 2017 calendars.

They were able to have a net income of

$764.16, which will pay for the Bell Choir

workshop being held in March 2017 in

Jacksonville, Florida.

Thanks again to Scott and Fran Burdick for

the excellent job they did creating and

managing this fundraiser.
