Ushering in autumn...

LOVING AND SERVING TOGETHER.  IT IS WHAT WE ARE DOING.  "He must increase, but I must decrease." John 3:30

Ladies...Here is a brief recap of what we presented at our Fall Kick-Off Dinner. For those of you who were unable to attend, take a moment to look over what is ahead.  We had lots of interest and sign-ups for it all.  Let us know if you would like to know more about something and we will put you on an email list. 

OUTREACH:

Lovelady Center SCHOOL SUPPLY DRIVE - Please bring school supplies to help Lovelady keep their closet stocked for the precious children that live there.  We have agreed to donate a box or so full of school supplies during the month of September.  There is a very cute school bus box in the lower gathering hall.  We need your help!!  They are on sale EVERYWHERE. :)   Contact Lucy Wahlman for more info.

LakeView Estates - We are hoping to begin a NEW relationship with LakeView Estates (just around the corner from Faith Church on Valleydale).  LakeView is a memory care and assisted living facility.  We are SO excited about this new little journey.  Please contact Betsy Barlow if you are interested in being involved in serving there.  We will be reading to the residents, possible leading a few Bible studies, playing games, singing.....Hoping to be a blessing to them!!
