WHAT'S HAPPENING?

Supper Clubs Have Another Successful Round

The most recent round of organized dinners, known as Supper Clubs, was a huge success. We will be reorganizing again in September with new groups. If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact Doris Monk at doris.monk2@aol.com.

 

Community Back to School Drive

We’re collecting school supplies to support local students at the PAL Back to School Event on Aug 2, from 9 AM-12 PM at the Lealman Sports Complex (3755 46th Ave N).

 

Help us fill backpacks with essential items for a strong start to the school year! Bring your donations to the church anytime between now and July 27. Let’s show our love for our community’s kids—every pencil, notebook, and backpack makes a difference! Look for the flyer with information on the specific types of supplies we are collecting. Contact the Church Office for more information.

 


New Worship Series Beginning July 13

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood is inspired by the life and legacy of Mr. Fred Rogers, as well as the film. What if kindness were more than just being nice? What if it was a radical act of faith? Join us for a heart-touching and faith-deepening sermon series inspired by A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, the true story of Mister Rogers and a cynical journalist learning to navigate anger, healing, forgiveness, and the power of grace. Each week, we’ll explore themes like: Naming and expressing our emotions, The power of forgiveness and reconciliation, Practicing kindness, even when it’s hard, Creating safe, sacred space for others, and Living out our faith with grace, truth, and love.

 

Through Scripture, story, and the steady example of Mister Rogers, we’ll ask: What does it mean to love our neighbor? And how can we practice that love in real life, even when it’s complicated? Come and be reminded: you are loved, just as you are—and so is your neighbor.


 


🎬 Movie Viewing: A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood 🎬

You’re invited to a special movie event with friends from across the South Pinellas Connection! Join us for a showing of A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood—a film about kindness, connection, and the power of love.

 

📅 Wednesday, July 30 at 3 PM – Gulfport Fellowship Hall

📅 Saturday, August 2 at 3 PM – St. Luke’s Fellowship Hall

 

Bring a friend and enjoy great fellowship, popcorn, candy, drinks, and a whole lot of heart. It’s a beautiful day for a movie!
