BACK 2 SCHOOL BACKPACK DRIVE Alongside Ministry needs your help with school supplies. The kids will be back to school before you know it.
Alongside Ministries would like to be able to help families in our church who may need supplies. There is a
table set up in the foyer all month with the supplies needed list. Drop off all your donations on Sundays or
during the week at the church office, Monday thru Thursday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm
This year we will be having an evening for distribution. Families will come in with their kids and be able to
fill their backpacks with the appropriate supplies. I am looking for volunteers to help with this event. We
want these families to feel loved and I need some help lovin’ on them!
Please contact Kim Brackett at 263-4818. If you cannot purchase supplies but would like to make a donation
please drop it in the offering bag on Sundays with “Back 2 School” on the memo line or bring it into the
church office.

IMAGINE IMAGINE IMAGINE IMAGINE Yourself
at a
Women of Faith Weekend
We all long for something more. Sometimes we don't even know what that something is.
But God does.
Imagine what it would be like if the God who created us was willing and able to provide exactly
what we need. Why would he want to do that? Because he loves us. He loves YOU.
Imagine that. imagine having two days focused on God and his love for you. Imagine those
two days are filled with laughter, music and stories that make you chuckle even as you wipe away
a knowing tear.
Join us for a Women of Faith Weekend and let your imagination soar. Because the God who loves
you can do far more that you can ever
Imagine.
