Thank you to all who donated so generously to our school supply drive! You are blessing nearly 70 children in the apartment complexes we serve. It was wonderful to see the Bennet family and Ginny and Oliver Dostie helping sort and prepare supplies for yesterday’s first distribution event. And of course, our rockstar, Rita Thompson, organizes this event for us every year.
On Sunday, August 22, we will recognize all our children and school teachers as they begin another school year. On that day, you will have the opportunity to select a child’s name to pray over this school year. Here’s how it will work:
1. Select a name from the display in the church foyer, then write her/his name and your name on one of the sign-in sheets.
2. Contact the parent/guardian of your selected child. Encourage the parent/ guardian to share any prayer requests.
3. Write or call your selected child and invite them to share any prayer requests at any time.
4. Greet the person you are praying for before or after our assemblies.
5. PRAY FOR THE CHILD WHOSE NAME YOU HAVE SELECTED EVERY DAY.
For those of you who are worshipping with us online, we are working on plans where you can participate in praying for a student as well. We’ll have more information about that as soon as possible.
Obviously, you don’t have to wait until August 22 to start praying over the coming school year.
