FAMILY MINISTRY

On Friday, August 12th from 6-8pm we will host our third family summit! This summit is for our entire church family and will equip us to disciple the next generation in our homes and at church. In this third quarter, we will focus on how to worship and pray as a family. Children from 1st-12th grade will participate in the summit with their families and experience times of worship and prayer. Our nursery through kindergarten children will have fun activities planned for them in the children's ministry. It's going to be an amazing night of worship and we look forward to seeing you there!

FOOD DRIVE
Our local food pantry at Interfaith Community Services (ICS), is looking to restock its food banks this July with the fifth annual Peanut Butter Party food drive. ICS is asking the community to “spread the love” by contributing 10,000 jars of peanut butter to help replenish its food bank supply through the end of the year. In an average month ICS gives out about 2,000 jars of peanut butter. We will have boxes available on Sunday, July 17 through Sunday, July 31st to collect dried goods like peanut butter and canned items like beans, veggies or fruits. ICS can collect dried goods and canned items that are up to five months after the "best before" date, so take the time to review your pantry, add some peanut butter to your grocery list, and bring them to the patio this Sunday.
MISSION UPDATE
--Global Training Network
Elder Steve Nicholas and Deacon Chris Ward shared pictures, stories and insight from their trip to Africa last Sunday and it was a beautiful picture of encouragement and unity. If you missed this opportunity, you can watch it here. We added four churches to our partnership and will be sharing their names, churches and locations at northwestbible.com/gtn soon.
