C4C Hosts Emma Elementary Coat Drive

Last year we were able to collect 90 coats, and this year we're hoping to exceed that number! For now, donations will be held online in two different ways:

1) You can donate through the website and select "C4C Coat Drive" (similar to how you made your donation for the School Supply Drive).

2) You can select a coat through our Target Wishlist. This coat will be delivered to the church and we will deliver it to Emma Elementary. This link will be available soon at www.target.com.

*Forty dollars will buy a coat and ten dollars will buy accessories (mask, hat, gloves)
October Creation Care Ministry Theme
We believe as people of faith, that we can look to God’s promises in scripture, and remember that God uses ordinary people all the time to work God’s purpose in the world. 

In 2020, Creation Care Ministry has been focusing on a monthly theme to restore God's Earth.

This month's theme is COMPOSTING.

Learn more about composting here.

Survey for Outdoor Worship
On October 25th we will have an outdoor worship service at RabbitRabbit.
RabbitRabbit is an outdoor music and food venue that is a joint collaboration between Asheville Brewing and the Orange Peel. At the outdoor service we will practice social distancing, we will all wear masks, and we will work to make sure that we are as safe as possible.

We are working to determine how many folks will want to attend that morning? Please fill out the following survey to help us know how many people will attend so we know how many services we will have.

Thank you so much and we look forward to seeing everyone in person.
