Many of us have not been in a situation when we cannot meet our most basic needs, but within our own borders, thousands of families have been thrust into this position through no fault of their own.  Crisis Care Kits provide people with an element of disaster relief by providing them with a few hygienic necessities.  If you would like to assemble a kit, please pick up a bag in the lobby, purchase the items listed on the enclosed sheet of paper, and return the bag with the items the following week.  Missions does not have to be international; rather, it is the act of reaching out to someone in need!

Lifestyle: a person's particular way of living (Webster Handy College Dictionary, 1981)
In the US, lifestyle involves choice; for many around the world, a lifestyle is something over which they have little control.  This month you have the ability to positively affect the lifestyle of a child or teen in another part of the world.  With your choice to sponsor a child for only $25/month, you are choosing to invest in the spiritual and physical health of a child in need, as well as in their education.  For more information, please visit the Child Sponsorship representative at the info desk any Sunday during the month of September or visit the link below.
Are you willing to give of yourself, sharing a piece of your lifestyle with a child in need?

Missions Book Reading

On the wall just outside the center doors of the sanctuary is a rack in which you can find a number of books with a common theme: missions.  Sometimes these books tell the story of a particular missionary, while other times they give the history of the church in a region of the world.  Read and see how God is at work even in the darkest of places and the quirkiest of circumstances!
