This weekend the Uth had another wonderful Service Saturday with our friends at Heart & Hand Ministries Thrift Store in South Charleston. It was the grand opening of their Fall/Winter line of apparel in the store, and boy was it crowded! We were able to help sort and hang more clothes for them to refill their shelves soon after the day ended due to the high demand of the upcoming change in season. As I've mentioned before, these service project days aren't just for the youth but for everyone in the church. We were glad to have some friends from the church swing by and help us for a bit once they saw the church van outside of Heart & Hand on Saturday.
Our next trips to Heart & Hand include the Hike for Hunger walk after church on Sunday, October 14th @ 2PM; Saturday's 10/20, 11/17, & 12/15. Mark your calendars, and come serve with the Uth! We'd love to have you!
Jeremy Daniels, Associate Pastor
Director of Youth & Young Adults

Baby Bottle Boomerang
Our mission focus in September is for Women's Choice Pregnancy Resource Center, to support women who are facing an unplanned pregnancy. Will you help support this life-giving program by taking home a baby bottle, filling it with change and bills, and returning it by the end of the month?
Women's Choice NEEDS VOLUNTEERS. The center is located on the west side of Charleston, and volunteer receptionists are desperately needed. The center is required to have two people working during hours, Mon-Thurs, 10-4. They must close if two cannot be there. Recently, they've had to close several times as several long time volunteers have retired. Closed doors are missed opportunities that may help young mothers make a decision to choose life. Will you consider volunteering one day or a half-day a week? If interested, call the center to set up a tour of the facility to learn more, 304.346.9779.

Operation Christmas Child Packing Party
You're invited to help pack items for our first Operation Christmas Child Packing Party. Everyone can take part in this church-wide effort to pack more boxes that will put the Gospel in the hands of more children. The party is Oct. 27, 9-noon. We're gathering supplies for school, hygiene, accessories, toys, and a "wow" item for each box. Check the clearance aisle and end of season items to buy in bulk. This week our focus is on soap boxes (to pack bar soap), pencil sharpeners, and erasers. We are blessed to be a blessing.
