Help make a difference by putting your Faith in Action
Faith in Action Suggestion for the Month of August:
We are called to pray, AND we are called to put our faith into action. We are called to follow Jesus which means we need to love and serve our neighbors in the name of Christ. It’s also our job to stand up to injustice and respect the dignity of every human being.
This month we suggest you take a look through the Advocacy Guide for Episcopalians. Consider the many ideas and suggestions offered and choose an action you can take this month to make a difference.

Outreach Project for August
It's time to fill up the red REACH bags, again!
This time we're REACHING for Love - Laundry Love
This important organization works to build relationships by bringing money, laundry soap, snacks and conversation into local laundromats for guests who can't afford the expense of doing their own laundry. Help yourself to a REACH bag and do what you can to help those in need. Donations and prayers are also welcome. Thank you!
Do your part to help spread the Good News...
E-vangelism Suggestion:
Back to School Blessings on Sunday, August 21st, both in Church at the 10:15am service AND at Camino Real Park (Dean Drive and Varsity Street - behind Lowes) 2-4pm. This is a community event. We want to support families, children, teachers and school staff as they begin a new school year.
And while we're offering Back to School Blessings, we'll also be having a church picnic!
Please help us spread the word by inviting your friends, putting up a flier, sharing it on a community bulletin board and/or sharing our post on social media. We'd like to spread the word and reach as many people as possible. Thanks for your help!
