1.) Back-to-School Supply Drive! Please purchase some supplies (they're on sale everywhere) or give funds to get local kids who need a little extra help back to school with all the things they love. There's a box outside the sanctuary for your goods (this week and next), or if you'd rather, donate money (through the QR code--look for the Missions tile and write "school supplies'" in the memo box; or give a check made out to the church with "school supplies" written in the memo line, and we'll purchase for you!

2.) MISSIONS… Our first Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) event on July 30 was a great success, with 13 attendees packing over 5,000 meals for families in need.

To keep this momentum going, we are scheduling regular FMSC packing events on the third Friday of every month. This is an excellent opportunity to have a BIG impact by investing just 90 minutes of your time. Volunteers ages 5 and older are welcome to participate.
Our next event will take place on Friday, August 21 at 5:00 PM. Sign up here.
