Dear Fourth Church,
I hope your 4th of July was full of rest and refreshment.
We have the privilege again this month of helping those in need in the DC region through our Collection and Food Drive this Saturday. Our faithful participation and generous giving draw attention to our great God and his love for the community where we live. See details below.
This Sunday is your second opportunity to attend a Sanctuary Renewal Town Hall Meeting. Read more below.
Lastly, please note that a Deacons’ Offering will be collected at all morning services this Sunday. The offering supports the work of the Deacons to offer prayer and assistance for those in difficult circumstances. You can give online to the Deacon Fund any time via the GIVE link at the top right of all pages on Fourth’s website. Be sure to select the fund labeled "Deacons".
Grace to you,
Don Nalle
For the Communications Team
