With so much happening in the next few weeks at the church, I want to put something on your radar before it is upon us. On Sunday, August 7, we will be hosting another Blood Drive. The Carter Bloodmobile will be parked outside the church from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM. It will be available to receive donors during that time, but be sure to sign up below to secure your desired spot.
People from the community join us every time we host, so the best spots fill up fast. However, not every spot fills up every time, so consider donating that Sunday. Giving blood is a great way for us to bless our community by helping meet very tangible needs. This is one of the many ways we serve as Jesus’ church to our community.
Blessings.
Pastor Brady
