Care Packages for College Students

On April 22 following the 11:00 a.m. service, a team will prepare care packages for our college students and those in the military. On the bulletin board across from the choir room and on a display board, you will find additional information, including the names of those receiving the care packages. From one of the displays, please take a flower petal that corresponds with the item you wish to bring AND write your name and item on the sheet provided. We are seeking a number of different items, from homemade cookies to ChapStick. If you would like to provide baked goods, please package them in a Ziploc bag and place them in a disposable Tupperware-like container that fits into an 8" x 8" box.

Please bring contributions to church by Sunday, April 22 and place them in the College Care Packages container in the fellowship hall or in the elevator alcove across from the Welcome Center brochures display in the main hallway. Cookies need to be labeled and may be left in the kitchen on April 22.

If you would like to help pack the care packages or have questions, please contact Amy Donald at 741-5355 or Carol Uzzle at 359-6041, ext. 117 or here.

Journey 101: Loving God

Journey 101: Loving God will begin Sunday, May 13, meeting from 5:00 - 7:00 p.m. This six-week course will end June 17. The Loving God classes stress loving God through taking on regular spiritual disciplines as a means of receiving God's grace, resulting in the transformation of our hearts. Topics covered include worship, prayer, study, guidance, fasting and submission to God's will. Child care will be provided.

Through Journey 101: Loving God we anticipate that those participating will not only learn about and practice the spiritual disciplines around which the six weeks are built but will also form lasting relationships with a small group of other Christians who have gathered around their table each week. If such bonds do form, we encourage the small group to continue growing with the other two Journey 101 classes. It is our hope that these bonds will lead to the formation of a small group that will stay together for a longer period of time, growing together in intentional ways and serving God together.
