Are
you in a share group? If the answer
is "No", the Women's and Men's Good Shepherd are here to
help. Please let us know you are looking. If the
answer is "Yes", we would also like to hear from you.
Following an Emmaus Walk, new members of the community are often
looking for a share group. Sometimes
Community members who have been around awhile are also looking for
one. If you are in an
active share group, you can help by contacting the Women’s or Men's Good Shepherd and let them
know about your group. We
are in the process of compiling a database of active Share Groups.
The database will be used to help anyone who may be looking
for a group, find one in their area.
We are looking for basic information; when and where you
meet and the name and phone number of one member of the group who
would serve as a point of contact.
We would love to hear from you.
The Women’s Good Shepherd is Ramona Smith and the Men’s
Good Shepherd is Jim West. Please
contact either one with your group’s information or if you are
in need of finding a group. Ramona Smith - email: ramona072@verizon.net; phone: 937-364-2350 Jim West – email:
