Children's Hunger Fund Food Pak:
Come join us on Thursday, November 4th and Sunday, November 7th an hour before and an hour after the services as we will be partnering with Children’s Hunger Fund to pack roughly 2,000 Food Paks to help those in need. All ages are welcome to attend this event under the tent.
The Food Paks will be sent to the Philippines, where there is tremendous need. As already one of the top 10 poorest nations in the world, Coronavirus has devastated the nation’s economy. The local church is struggling to meet the challenge, and CHF is responding by sending thousands of Food Paks to equip local churches to provide hunger relief and most importantly the hope of the gospel. Join us to serve this critical need!
Poverty Encounter:
Come join us at the Poverty Encounter. This 75 minute tour experience highlights real stories of children living in Guatemala, Haiti, Nepal and Romania. Our free spots for Sunday, November 7th are all full. We do have a few other dates available (November 20th/23rd and December 15th/18th) at the group rate of $7/ticket. You can click here to save your spot (tour times available on the link).
Evangelism Training:
How do we start gospel conversations? What are the best verses to use? How should we respond to questions that are asked? Those questions and many more may come to mind when you think about evangelism. Join us on Sunday, November 14th at 10:45 AM in Classroom A for a time of training where we will cover many of the tools and techniques for telling others about Jesus. Be ready for an encouraging time together as we grow in faithfulness and boldness with the gospel. Sign up today!
Prayer and Fasting: (Friday, November 12th)
More details to come! Be on the lookout for an email that will be sent out on Monday, November 8th.
