WHAT'S HAPPENING?
Fifth Sunday Mission Offering – This Sunday!
This Sunday is a Fifth Sunday—an exceptional opportunity to support our mission partners through a designated offering. On every Fifth Sunday, we split the entire offering: half supports our church’s operating budget, and half goes directly to our four mission partners:
- Residing Hope
- Florida Dream Center
- Zoe Empowers
- Iglesia Metodista de Guareiras (our sister church in Cuba)
Let’s give generously as we live out our calling to make a difference both locally and globally!
Church Leadership Team Meeting
The next Church Leadership Team Meeting will take place on Tuesday, July 1, at 6:30 PM in the Care & Share Room. All members are encouraged to attend as we continue planning and leading our church’s ministries. The Church Leadership Team meetings are open to the public and everyone has a voice at these meetings. Should you wish to add an item to the agenda, please contact Arlene Tibbetts, chair of the CLT or contact the Church Office. We look forward to seeing you there!
Our Pantries are Getting Bare!
Our Free Little Pantries are running low! Let’s share the hope of the Resurrection by helping our neighbors facing food insecurity. Please bring non-perishable food, canned goods, or hygiene items - collection baskets are in the East Wing. You can also give financially by marking your gift “pantries.” Let’s share Christ’s love in a tangible way!
Community Back to School Drive
We’re collecting school supplies to support local students at the PAL Back to School Event on August 2, from 9:00 AM to Noon 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 glue stick 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.
