Volunteers Needed!!
FOOD DISTRIBUTION DAY ~ Friday, August 28
Allen Chapel AME Church
We have been serving around 200 families each food distribution. Our next food distribution will be Friday, August 28, partnering with Allen Chapel AME Church and distributing food at 500 N. Guillemard St. We need volunteers to work a shift in the morning to either sort or distribute food. Volunteer duties range from directing traffic and filling out forms for families, to more labor-involved duties of sorting and distributing food. While it is outdoors and we take precautions like masks, please do not volunteer if you are at a high risk of infection or if you are not feeling well. Please email Honey Harris to volunteer.

MARK YOUR CALENDAR!!
Our weekly Africa 🇺🇬 EYC Book Club on ZOOM
Every Sunday ~ 7:00-8:00 PM
Surprise special guests from Uganda ministries will join us as we read about a teen who moved from Nashville, TN to Uganda in faith — and the challenges to trust God while in Africa. This book club is for guys and girls of all ages. It is a New York Times Bestseller – and one of Britton's personal favorites! You do not need to RSVP to come to the book club and there is no "homework" or reading to participate in this book club! Purchasing a book is not necessary. We will be screen-sharing an e-book, but if you would like to purchase a book it is Kisses from Katie by Katie Davis.
