ONGOING

Sprinkling: Although not an official shower, we'd love to bless and "sprinkle" the Rydin's with diapers and wipes (they prefer unscented and would like to avoid Pampers) as they prepare for their little one's arrival.
If you'd like to participate, simply bring your gift and place it on the table outside the family life center. It will be up the remainder of August.
Let's shower them with love (and baby essentials) as we celebrate the blessing of new life God is bringing into their family

Mission Project: Our Missions Team will be collecting supplies for the Calvary Home For Children. This Children’s Home in Anderson is a non-profit organization that cares for children who have been abused or neglected and are often in the Foster care system.
There are currently 5 group homes on their campus and the children are cared for in a homelike setting.
We will collect items for them during August. These are a few of the things they need:
Paper Towels, Liquid Hand Soap (like Dial), Paper Plates, Q-Tips (cotton), Ziplock Bags (quart and gallon), Children’s Motrin Pain Reliever (generic okay), Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil, Benadryl Tablets (generic okay), Dishwasher Pods, Disinfecting Wipes (like Clorox or Lysol), Spray Cleaner (like Pine Sol or Lysol), & Laundry Detergent

Verse For The Week: “Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this darkness, against evil, spiritual forces in the heavens” – Ephesians 6:12

Prayer Focus This Week: Nairobi, Kenya
Pray for South Sudanese refugee women who are part of a Bible study in the city of Nairobi. These women made the difficult journey from a remote village in their homeland to the big city of Nairobi for safety and for the education of their children and other relatives’ children whom they are caring for in their homes. Their husbands remain in South Sudan, often with other wives. The life of a refugee is full of hardship and suffering. Just this past month, one of the women unexpectedly passed away, leaving a 9-year-old son behind. Another lost her newborn grandchild a few weeks ago. Refugees need hope. Pray that refugees will find hope in a relationship with Christ. Ask God to open eyes and soften hearts of believers in Nairobi and even in your own community to see, care for, and share the hope of the gospel with refugees. Pray that these South Sudanese women will understand and desire sanctification in their lives. Pray that they will learn to use audio Bibles and other tools to study and understand God’s Word. May they become strong evangelists, reaching out to those in their community who do not know Christ.
