Back to School Bash

On Saturday, August 6th, from 1 pm- 4 pm, Idlewild at the Springs will be hosting their "Back to School Bash". This event is designed to support neighboring families, youth, and schools prior to the 22-23 school year. This is a celebration designed to get our children and youth excited to start the upcoming school year! Parents and community partners who work directly with children/youth will have the opportunity to connect. Partnering area schools will be given classroom supplies to provide to their teachers, local barbers will offer free haircuts for children/students K-12, and local area children in need will pick out a new backpack.
"Wedding of the Year"

Tonya Sloan, our food director, is looking for volunteers to help her team prepare for Idlewild's Wedding of the Year, Ms. Kim Whitten and Mr. Lyn Bain! If you are able and willing to bless the bride and groom, please register to help.
Cafe on the Go (& Training)

The Month of August is very busy with Cafe On The Go, which means there are lots of opportunities to serve. Also, we were blessed to receive a brand new trailer for our coffee cart, Praise the Lord!
SSL
(Spanish as a Second Language)

Starting August 15th, we will be hosting our SSL fall semester course here at Idlewild. These classes are conversational by nature and will be hosted virtually with once-a-month in-person classes. The cost for new students is $20 and returning students is $10.
Hope Restored

Rendering hope to the lost, relief for the oppressed, and restoration for the victim. Our mission is to train Christian volunteers to serve local ministry partners in the fight against human trafficking. Students will gain knowledge through an 8-week course including public awareness, prevention, rescue, and aftercare for survivors. Also, every Sunday during the month of August in the Gatheria at Idlewild, there will be a human trafficking awareness ministry to glean more information on how you can help fight this battle.
Missions Impact Conference (MIC)

September is right around the corner, which means our 2022 Missions Impact Conference planning is in full swing. Please be praying for our mission staff as God continues to provide what we need to make this year's conference a God-honoring conference.
USF International Student Airport Pickups

There are many opportunities to serve at Idlewild, but there are even more ways to serve in our local community. For example, USF needs drivers to pick up international students from the airport to drop them off at the college campus.
Teacher Appreciation Gala (Recap)

On July 30th of 2022, Idlewild hosted a Teacher Gala that gave teachers from 125 schools a night of relaxation, fun, and refreshments.
