FAMILY FUN NIGHT • OCTOBER 31 • 6-8PM
New Deacon Selection Process Has Begun
The church is the most important leadership organization on the planet! That's why we take our Deacon selection so seriously. Over the next few months we will identify, teach, evaluate, and train candidates. After all that, the new Deacons will be formally installed at one of our Sunday services.
Did you know you have an important role in the process?
Every summer, as part of our ministry on Tower Road, we have purchased and filled backpacks with supplies for the school age kids. This year we are changing things up, literally. Since we just found out the school system will be providing all the necessary school supplies, our backpacks will be stuffed with back to school clothes. We want every child on Tower Road to have a new outfit to wear to school. Backpacks will be delivered at the start of the school year.
3 Ways You Can Help:
Adopt a child to purchase clothes for. Sign-up to serve. Donate towards the purchase of items. Let's be the hands and feet together!
