I'm excited to invite you to a new outreach-focused small group launching Tuesday, April 14! We’ll gather on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month at 10:30 a.m. in Room 136. This group is all about growing in God’s heart for people—together. Through Bible study, meaningful fellowship, prayer, and opportunities to serve, we’ll encourage one another to live out our faith in practical ways. I'd love for you to be part of it! Let me know if you can make it. —Brooke Wolde, Missions Coordinator

May Mission of the Month: Bundles of Hope

Join us this May as we collect diapers for Bundles of Hope. We are grateful for the opportunity to provide essential care for children across Alabama. The greatest needs are sizes 4, 5, 6, and pull-ups, as most babies spend the majority of their time in these sizes. While the smaller sizes are sweet (and less expensive), the larger sizes are needed most.

You can make your donation go 67% further by giving online, allowing Bundles of Hope to purchase diapers at a wholesale discount. Just select "Mission of the Month" in the drop-down.

Interested in serving at Bundles of Hope? The organization has a 24-hour wrapathon scheduled on May 1 & 2. Volunteer spots are limited - don't wait to register.

June Mission of the Month: Water Is Basic (VBS)

Our Vacation Bible School mission partner is Water Is Basic, an organization that equips and trains women to launch and manage well-repair businesses, restoring clean water to thousands of families. For nearly twenty years, the organization has pursued one goal: clean water for every South Sudanese community. With women leading the way, they expect to reach that goal by 2030.

Our goal at VBS and throughout the month is to raise $10,000 to build a well in South Sudan. To help, give online and select "Mission of the Month" in the drop-down.
