Support for Houston

9/8/2017

Friends-
As I mentioned on Sunday, churches in the area are banding together to support the people of Houston in this time of need.  At our board meeting last night, we agreed to be part of this multi-church effort.  It was suggested that we challenge our members to get involved in the following way:

For the next two Sundays, we will be receiving both supplies and money to go to the unified effort.  You should know that we have two choices, equally good:  delivering our supplies to Heartland Church, who is working with World Vision, or delivering them to City First Church, working with Convoy of Hope.  Both are on the ground in Houston and having a big impact already.

Here's what is needed: Personal care items such as diapers, toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, deodorant, feminine hygiene.  Also school supplies such as backpacks, markers, crayons, notebook paper, scissors, glue sticks.

In addition to these supplies, we challenge each of us to make a financial contribution of some sort, as God leads.  If writing a check, you can make it out to the church, and mark it for Houston relief.  We will then write one large check, to cover what comes in, in addition to benevolence giving from our benevolence fund.

Here's a chance to help.  We are making it as simple as we can so we can all get involved.  Please help!
Thanks!
Gary

Friends-

With September comes fall.  

Not "THE Fall"  That was when we, as humans and knuckleheads, decided our ways were better than God's ways.  We did it our way.  Big mistake.  BIG fall.  

But fall is when God says, "I know you messed up.  And I've taken care of that.  On the cross.  Once and for all. All you need do is believe and accept my gift.  And to show you there are no hard feelings, I'm going to give you trees with amazing colors, pristine blue skies, and crisp cool air that makes you want to snuggle with someone you love."  

"For God so loved the world that he sent his only son..."

Happy September!  

Gary
