BLESS YOUR PETS

 Plan to bring your pets to church and receive a blessing from our pastors on Sunday, October 3 at 11:30am on the North Lawn. All of God's creatures are welcome! We hope to see many of you. Invite friends!
MAKE BLESSING BAGS
THIS SUNDAY ON THE PATIO
Thanks to all who donated items to help us restock! Our goal is to have our "Build-a-Bag" Workshop on the patio the first Sunday of each month. Plan to make at least one bag to keep in your car. This is a great activity for the whole family and allows kids to learn the importance of giving to those less fortunate.
We are still in need of more travel lotion and snacks (granola bars/fruit snacks) if you would like to donate these items on Sunday or Monday at our Drive Thru 9-11am. Thank you!
