Celebrate Freedom: Hot Dog Giveaway
Monday, July 3 | Kids’ Corner Park
To celebrate Independence Day, we will be giving away free hot dogs and sharing the freedom we have in Christ with our community… don’t miss our annual event!
Get Involved!
« MONETARY SUPPORT...A HUGE thank you to all of you that have contributed to this project. As of right now, it is estimated that we have collected enough funds to cover our expenses. If something changes once items are actually purchased, we'll update again.
« HELP NEEDED @ EVENT...We are so grateful that so many of you have signed up to help at this event! We have one spot open for a condiment stocker from 8pm until we're done. We also only have one person signed up to help with clean-up so if you're at the park at the end of the evening, it would be appreciated if you would just plan to stick around a little longer and help load everything in the van. Again, we give a HUGE thank you to all of our volunteers!

· Caroline Bocock has been terribly ill as she is dealing with a Lyme Disease outbreak. She has begun a treatment regimen that looks promising. Please pray that it is effective and that she will be feeling better soon.
· The Marshall Family: Tracy has requested that we specifically pray for the following: "Nolan is signed up for Boys and Girls Club (BGC) this summer. It's every day from 12-5 and we desperately need him to hold it together well enough to attend. We tried BGC during school and he lasted three days before he was asked to not come back. But since he punched his friend and now is not allowed to play with anyone in the neighborhood, if he can't handle this, then we are in for a verrrrrry long summer while we are trying to work . Daniel is getting a lot of pressure from his boss to come back into the office and HR is involved...please pray they grant this flexible work arrangement and also that Nolan will be successful at the BCG."

· Leslie Robinson (friend of Bruce & Vasha Ferguson) is home and using a walker. Thank God for His mercy and faithfulness, and please continue praying for her full recovery.
