Monday Message: August 7 , 2017
Wednesday, August 9 at 6:00 pm is our annual Bluegrass & BBQ event! We'll have great live music by  Jeff Barnett and the Bluegrass Gentlemen plus  yummy barbecue and hot dogs with all the sides. There will also be inflatables and games for the kids!
 
Admission is FREE  but all in attendance are encouraged to bring canned goods, pastas, and canned meats for  the Samaritan House.  

Please let the church office know if you'll be attending.  

Backpack and School Supply Drive

The new school year is quickly approaching, and our congregation is partnering with three different organizations to collect school supplies and backpacks to ensure that no child is left without!

These backpacks and supplies will be prayed over and blessed, then delivered to children in both Allendale County and Greenville County.


If you're interested in donating, a list of needed school supplies can be found here. This is the last week to donate supplies.
