Two Mission Opportunities

We have not one, but two, mission opportunities you can participate in:

The BNI group that meets weekly at our church has organized a School Supply Drive, and since they helped us out with our recent Food Drive weve decided to help them with their effort! Over the next few weeks pick up: notebooks, pencils and pens, crayons and markers, scissors and glue, and bring the items to the church or fellowship hall. And thank you, in advance for your contributions!

We invite you to share the gift of life at our Blood Drive on Sunday, August 16th. The Bloodmobile will be on the church grounds from 11:303:30, and every donation makes a meaningful difference for neighbors in need. If youre able, please plan to stop by and giveyour generosity truly saves lives.
