THANK YOU for your generous donations to our summer mission project to help provide school supplies and clothing to our city’s inner city children. Your gifts will be delivered to Harry Abate school. The supplies will be made available to their teachers, who will distribute them to their students as they determine each student’s need. Your help is greatly appreciated.
TODAY IS THE LAST DAY to donate to our AUGUST MISSION ENVELOPES, designated to assist the flash flood victims in Texas. Over 135 people were killed by flood waters, including children attending a Christian summer camp. Hundreds of structures were destroyed, and hundreds are still homeless. We will be working with our church’s Texas District, which has guaranteed that 100% of your donations will go directly to aid those who have been impacted by the floods. To donate, place your donations in the offering plate today or donate online under “monthly mission”.

Hotdogs, hamburgs, and drinks will be provided. Please bring a side dish or dessert to share. SIGN UP TODAY on the glass case if you plan to stay for the picnic so we know how many to buy for.
