Help Us Mail College Care Packages
Help us remember our college students! Twice a year care packages are sent to members in college or trade school. They contain school supplies, snacks, & misc. items, as well as a note of encouragement and a Bible verse. Join in this ministry by mailing a package from the table in the narthex. Cost is about $7.00 to send. (Do not pick up a package to hand-deliver to your son or daughter. After all, who doesn't love to get a package in the mail!) Please mail by Feb 8 to ensure they are received before spring breaks begin.
Save the Date—Vacation Bible School
Mon., Jun 23—Fri., Jun 27 9:00-11:30 a.m.
Guide kids on the ultimate Alaskan adventure where northern lights glow over majestic mountains, racing rivers, and glistening glaciers. As kids trek the tundra, they’ll explore how easy it is to lose sight of what’s true in our wild world today. Pointing them toward Jesus, True North VBS shows them that he is a faithful friend we can always trust. He’s our True North! Interested in volunteering? Email Kara Hiatt.
