Dear Fourth Church,
Greetings on this hot, humid day as we close out July. Here are two notes to go with today's update:
-
Something new and different for our drive-through collection: this month, we are seeking clothing and household items only—no food items. The collection runs Saturday, August 14, 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The needs in our community continue to be great; thank you for your faithful and generous participation.
-
Also, please read further in today's update for a letter from Director of Music, Ted Bickish, inviting children to participate in one of our musical ensembles this fall. He shares the full, updated schedule of musical offerings as well.
Grace to you,
Don Nalle
For the Communications Team
