Good Sam residents who passed away in the past year were remembered on December 1st in a special service. They were (and still are) a part of the Good Sam family and were a blessing to the Home during their time here. They were loved, cared for, prayed over, and supported. They made a difference in our lives and touched our hearts.
You can view the service on Youtube by visiting our Facebook page, GoodSamHome.
Gratitude is offered to:
Susan Worthington, Bethlehem United Church of Christ, pianist
Jordan Duncan, Boone Funeral Home, soloist
and Rev. Brian Buschkill, St. Peters Highland UCC, video & online production

Transport Van Update
Kudos to you! We are more than 2/3’s of the way toward purchasing a new Transport Van for our residents. Churches, families, and individuals have stepped up with strong support for the effort, and we are grateful for you!
Every day residents of the Home need rides to doctors’ offices and other healthcare appointments. Those rides will be more comfortable for our residents with a new van. The van will be specially modified, with a wheelchair ramp and special features to make the ride secure, safe, and snug.
If you or your church would like to participate in the On the Road Campaign, please visit www.goodsamhome.org/on-the-road to donate, or contact:
Rev. Michael Erwin
