Help Good Shepherd Lutheran Church
Donation protected
The Good Shepherd Lutheran Church located at 500 Mathistown Rd., Little Egg Harbor 08087, has suffered from a despicable crime. Two exterior Air Conditioning Units were stolen from the Church sometime between January 12th, 2015 - January 29th, 2015.
It is believed by LEHPD that the units were stolen by drug addicts to fund a drug problem. The units are dismantled, and the copper piping is sold to scrap dealer's for quick cash.
This is not the first time the Church of about 120 faithful have been victims of crimes. In the past 3 years, criminals have stolen copper piping from the Church's kitchen, stolen the aluminum gutter's and downspouts from the Church and also stole an exterior bench.
Good Shepherd has insurance to cover the theft of the AC Units but still must cover the $1,000.00 deductible.
At an upcoming Church meeting, the congregation will discuss future steps to protect the Church from criminals, but in the meantime, needs the $1,000.00 deductible to have the units replaced.
Please, let's come together as a community and assist in any donations that we could possibly give to the Church. It is very upsetting and tragic that anyone would steal from a Church, but we will come together to assist them in this difficult time.
We can not sit back and let the Church go at this alone. As a community, we must come together and fix the wrong and do what we can to get the Church back to normal.
Any donations will be greatly appreciated and go directly to Good Shepherd Lutheran Church.
Thank you!
