There is an old joke in Methodist circles that goes like this:
Question: How many Methodists does it take to change a light bulb?
Answer: You can’t change that light bulb! My daddy gave it to the church!
And that is why, following the lead of some churches we know & respect, we at Good Shepherd don’t encourage directed giving and why we don’t name pieces of our property after people or organizations.

And I am so grateful for that belief. My former UMC chose to go down that road a decade ago and it really caused division and resentment among many members.
