Little Free Pantry
Our Deacons In-House Missions Team has created a sign up link so that we can keep our Little Free Pantry stocked each week. It is clear that this important ministry is being utilized by the community, and we want to be sure there is food available if someone should have a need. You may sign up using this link. Thank you, church family, for your care and compassion. There is a link at the top of this page, or click here: https://volunteersignup.org/XK7JT
Children's Ministry

Attention Parents!
The Children's Ministry is starting a new way of recognizing when our First Kids are "caught taking care of God's world." When we see children doing such things as being kind to others, being helpful to church members, helping keep our area clean, or assisting a new member, they receive a punch on their card and when they receive 10 punches, they receive a special gift. I want our families and congregation to get involved in recognizing our First Kids as well. If you see something one of our First Kids does that you feel should be recognized, please reach out to Jamie and let her know. We want our children to know that their actions are just as important and seen as their adult counterparts.
During Sunday School and Children’s Church in July and August, First Kids will learn how to tell their JESUS JOURNEY, their GOD STORY. This helps with the 4th part of discipleship and spiritual habit.
We are excited that our First Kids will gain the ability and confidence to Share/Show their story!
We had so much fun at Vacation Bible School!
Thank you for being a part of this amazing experience! GOD IS YOUR FRIEND FOREVER!
