New Bible Study Starting April 10th

“On Purpose: Finding God’s Voice in Your Passion,”
authors: Magrey DE Vega, Sam McGlothlin, Jevon Caldwell-Gross, and Susan Robb.

Books are $12.50.  Call or email the office to reserve your copy.

We are hungry for a sense of purpose, direction, and calling in our lives. That’s as basic an ingredient to the human experience as they come. We want to be part of something bigger than ourselves. We want to participate in something that has eternal merit and lasting impact. We do not want to live a shallow, hollow existence. We yearn for deeper meaning, for deeper purpose within our lives. We want to be more than we are.

In On Purpose: Finding God’s Voice in Your Passion, authors Magrey deVega, Sam McGlothlin, Jevon Caldwell-Gross, and Susan Robb help us see God’s purpose for our lives, how to open ourselves to God’s voice, and how to take the first or next step to follow God’s call. Reading this book and exploring life choices alongside others, individuals will learn how to channel their passions, hear God’s voice, and live the life they were meant to live.

SPECIAL PROJECTS COMMITTEE

BARGAIN TREASURES

AUGUST 24, 2024

The Special Projects Committee is pleased to announce that we are resuming this year the Bargain Treasures fundraiser, a special event that raises revenues for our church operating budget for 2024. Preparation for this wonderful event begins now with items collected and stored during the coming months leading to the event, preparing a list of volunteers who can help us on the days leading up to the event day (Aug. 18-23) and of course those who can help on the event day of Aug. 24, 2024.

Please help us with this wonderful event; we need you.

We have received offers from many members to help. We will be contacting volunteers in the coming months as to actual assignments that you are willing to fulfill. If you can help, contact Marlon Winters at the email or phone number listed below.

We will begin now with the collection of donated items. We seek items that include clothes, especially gently used children’s clothing, crafts, antiques, pictures & frames, toys, sporting/exercise equipment, household items including lamps, linens, sheets, bedspreads, draperies, rugs, curtains, fabrics, dishes, glassware, cook utensils , baking items; also holiday decorations, tools, furniture, children’s books, electronic items including toasters, microwaves.

We ask that you DO NOT donate televisions, magazines, books (other than children’s books).

We ask that all items donated be of good quality and clean if possible. This will help us greatly in preparing for the event.

We are glad to offer pick-up of items as many of you are going through residence changes and spring cleaning and wish to already offer items for our event. We have storage available to house items as we prepare for the special day. Contact Marlon Winters to arrange a time for pick-up.

Boxes are located on the 3rd floor (Main Church) sewing hallway. You can come and buy fabric during the church office hours (Monday – Thursday 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM). They are full boxes only, please do not swap fabric from one box to another.  Each box has a price listed (for quick sale). All sales are final and ends April 30th. Payment is on the honor system and will be collected at the end of each day.  All proceeds will go into the Church Bargains and Treasure Fundraiser Fund.
