Last Saturday a group of ladies from Shelley's Riverview and a group of folks from Goldsboro Church hosted a Meet and Eat Gathering at the Borough Building. Over 120 meals were served as people enjoyed a splendid spaghetti dinner, saw some familiar faces, and bumped into others they had never met before.
The idea was to have a catalyst event that might lead to further collaboration among neighbors to strengthen our sense of community. There seems to be some interest in some bus day trips, a history of Goldsboro night, art camp for kids, a basketball clinic, and a few other suggestions were received.
If you missed this event, keep your ear to the ground... just in case another is planned for later in the year! Follow us on Facebook (Goldsboro Church of God) for additional information or to learn of upcoming events.

After graduating from Red Land high school and Indiana University of Pennsylvania, I worked several years at Ships Parts Control Center. Jeanne came into my life simultaneous to my sense of a calling for additional training. We moved to Findlay, OH and finished my M. Div. through Winebrenner Theological Seminary. I was ordained by the Churches of God, General Conference and served pastorates in Cumberland, Allegheny and Westmoreland Counties.
Desert Storm arose during the mid-point of those assignments and again I sensed a calling and was commissioned as a Chaplain in the US Army Reserves. Three overseas deployments and 24 years later, I retired from the military and have returned to my boyhood home in Etters.
Married to Jeanne for four decades now (seems like yesterday), God blessed us with a daughter Sarah and son Zachary, who in turn are both married to great people and have provided five grandsons and one beautiful granddaughter between them! We are so proud of our children and our grandchildren!
I am very excited to be part of the Goldsboro Church and to have the opportunity to serve alongside these good folks as we let the light of Jesus be reflected into the lives and fabric of our community.
