Beloved, since God loved us so much, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God lives in us, and his love is perfected in us.

Youth Ministry Book Drive 2019
|
What:
Over the next few weeks the youth are hosting a book drive as we partner with Promising Pages. Promising Pages is a local non profit that works to ensure every child has a home library to help them discover how fun reading can be! They are also working to combat illiteracy at a young age.
How can I help?
There is a bin set up in the connector behind the Sanctuary where books can be dropped off. We will be accepting books until October 20th which is when we will be cleaning and sorting the books. We will also be creating letters, book marks, and book buddies to hand out with the donated books.
The youth have set a goal to raise 1500 books by October 20th!!!
