SUMMER READING

Check out our newest books on the featured shelves in the library.

Soles4Souls

Remember to bring your gently worn shoes to church so someone else can make use of them. Just tie the laces together or rubber band them and place them in the drop box behind the stage room off the main hall. Your shoes may wind up blessing someone across the world – or right here in our own community.

CHILDREN’S LINK

God’s Love is Powerful!

BASEMENT NEWS

We had a great start to our series, “You Asked For It,” and we will continue part two this Sunday night.

After the basement this Sunday night, we will be staying to watch a movie and hang out. Pick up time for this will be between 10-10:30pm. Movie is to be determined.

This Wednesday we will be going to the Braves game. Sign-ups are now closed for this trip.

This Saturday, July 25th, we have a mission project with the non-profit, Take the City. We will be serving our community with them. This is a no cost event but we do need to know who is going. If you can let Pierce know that would be best!

Finally this Sunday night is the last night to sign up for Motion Conference! It will be July 30-Aug 1st. Cost is $200.

Basement Fundraiser

Grab your basement coffee mug for only $10 before they are all gone.
