“FEED THE FLOCK: SECOND HELPING WEDNESDAYS!”
A Monthly Mission to Fill Bellies & Hearts
On the 2nd Wednesday of each month, we feed around 40 hungry teenagers—and we’d love for YOU to be part of it!
We’re looking for a person, family, or tag-team to provide a meal for our youth. It’s a simple (and delicious!) way to serve together, show Christ’s love, and maybe even become a youth-group legend—especially if your mac and cheese slaps. 😋
🍴 WHAT YOU BRING:
A main dish, at least one side, and a dessert
Drop everything off in the church kitchen by 6:15 PM on your scheduled Wednesday
Optional but encouraged: Stay and eat with us! We’d love to have you.
🥤 WHAT WE PROVIDE:
Drinks, Plates, cups, napkins & cutlery
Serving utensils and everything else you need
Gratitude, high-fives, and maybe a few requests for your recipe!
Whether you go gourmet or keep it classic, your meal makes a difference. You’re helping our teens feel welcomed, cared for, and loved—one plate at a time.

Children’s Christmas Program Kick-Off!
We are excited to announce that the children will have an opportunity to participate in another Christmas play this year, and we would like to invite all children and middle schoolers going into 1st through 8th grade to come join us for a Kick-Off Party on Wednesday night, August 19 at 6:45 in the Social Hall. We will also have a quick parent meeting at 6:45-6:50 that evening to go over more information on the program.
The Christmas program does have many opportunities for the children to sing solos and to have speaking parts. If your child is interested in doing a solo or would like to have an acting part, we will hold auditions prior to the Kick-Off on the following Wednesday nights: July 22 & 29, and August 5 (only from 6:45-7 p.m.) & 12.
This is such a wonderful opportunity for the children to be creative in worship for the upcoming Christmas season, and we look forward to having your child join us! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Mary Mays at the number or email listed on the graphic.
