Red Bank CROP Walk #42- Update
A huge thank you to everyone who gave their time and donations to CROP Walk this year! There is still time to submit any envelopes that you may have. As of this week, there has been over $130,000 and 1000 lbs over our initial food goal taken in!
With Gratitude, Janie Schildge
Check Out Our New Family-Friendly Space in the Lounge!
We love babies and we want young families to feel welcomed and comfortable! In addition to the soft play space at the back of the sanctuary, we have created a family friendly space in the Lounge (across from the bathrooms) for parents with young children who need a little more wiggle room, cry space or lactation spot. There are some toys in the bench, and the service will be streamed on the big screen. Please take advantage of this room with your baby/toddler as needed.
Backpack Crew Pantry
Donations Welcome

The Backpack Crew has continued to serve the increasing number of people who are impacted by food insecurity in the midst of this health crisis. Food donations are greatly appreciated on the back porch of the church, Monday though Friday from 9 am to 3 pm.

Fellowship Time
Coffee Hour-
Volunteer One Sunday
We are looking for volunteers to help set up, serve and clean up during Fellowship Time Coffee Hour.
Use the link below to sign up to help or contact Amanda in the church office for more information.
Adult Education-
Adult Education will resume for the Fall on Wednesday at 7:00 pm on Zoom (see the church calendar on our website for the link) and Sunday at 8:45 am in person (meeting in the Lounge). We will begin with a video series by Marcus Borg on his book The Heart of Christianity.  You are welcome to read his book, but the video series is a set of lectures he gave on the topic that does not require reading the book to follow his thinking. This is a great place to join us if you have not participated before, or if you are a returning “regular” or anything in between. We look forward to seeing you!
Pastoral Care
If someone is hospitalized or in need of pastoral care,
