ADVENT CHALLENGE : WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT

Last year's challenge was incredibly successful and so many lives were touched by this act

of generosity, the leadership of the church wanted to do it again this year. Once again

our goal between now and Christmas Eve is to raise $5,250.00 to be split between Stop

Hunger Now and Local Outreach Missions. Of our goal, $2,900 will go to our global

charity, Stop Hunger Now, as we strive to host another meal packaging event to help

those children around the world that are suffering from malnourishment. The other

$2,350 will go to local outreach missions; such as Church Has Left the Building and Open

Arms Village at St. Marks

* Our Goal $ 5,250.00 *

Please prayerfully consider how you might give, above and beyond your normal giving, to support

this challenge so we may reach out and share the love of Christ with other people.

S.O.S. (Sisters of Soul) Attention All Ladies you are invited to join us the 3rd Sunday of

each month, at 12:30 in Fellowship Hall after our lunch. The organizations our group supports are

Homeless Children & Youth Project (with the Marion County Public Schools). UPCOMING

PROJECTS: During the month of September we will be collecting Back to School Supplies. In

October, November and December items for a Kitchen Shower will be collected to support Kids

Central and those teenagers that are leaving the system and entering a home.

Cancer Survivor Support Group is meeting on the second Thursday of each month at
