You can find a list of needed supplies below and leave them in our Back to School Drive bins at the church entrances. Please donate supplies by Sunday, July 31st.

There aren’t many things you can do to help others that are easy as giving blood – you even get to recline and relax while you do it!

Safety Exercise
The Safety Exercise on August 24th is an all-staff and volunteer event designed to allow our teams to practice what they’ve learned in safety training. The Safety Exercise helps us identify any areas of our emergency plan that need attention and gives our teams confidence in their preparedness for an emergency situation.
We encourage all staff and volunteers to attend, and have service roles in Kid Connection, Student Ministry, Groups, Worship, Tech, Connections, Safety (including role players) and picnic set-up/tear down.
