**Nikki (DCUMC) and Kym (NCUMC) purchased tickets F2 & F4**

One of our church youth is participating in a charity benefit show. Elana Childress is on the Spotlight Dance team at Maureen's School of Dance. They are putting on a show called "Be the Change" on 8/9/25 in support of a local charity called CATS - Children's Assistive Technology Services. CATS supports children in our community with disabilities by helping them to secure equipment which will improve their quality of life. The show has been put together by a group of teen dancers and will be family friendly. They are learning many important things like the importance of philanthropy and helping to serve your community. Tickets are on sale now and all proceeds go directly towards the remarkable organization. If you are unable or not interested in attending, you can also make a monetary donation to the charity. Please visit the link below for tickets or to donate. Any amount is appreciated.

Youth Sunday School

Join us on Sundays @ 9am for Sunday School!

This four-week series will help students understand that their mistakes don’t define their relationship with God by exploring Biblical figures who messed up in big ways but were still loved by God.

In this four-week series, students will learn:

• Session 1 (8/10): God still loves us... even when we fail.
• Session 2 (8/17): God still uses us... even when we're disobedient.
• Session 3 (8/24): God still believes in us... even when we don't believe in ourselves.
• Session 4 (8/31): God still forgives us... even when we turn our backs on Him.
