This past week, we had a fantastic week in Atlanta, Georgia. Eleven youths and six guides worshipped, worked, prayed, sang, played, and gave thanks for all of God’s blessings. TeamEffort and Brightstar Methodist Church were incredible hosts. You all were a part of that week through your prayers and support. Join us on August 11th for Mission Trip Sunday worship at 10 AM. Hear youth and guide testimonies, great music, and worship led by our mission trip youth. We look forward to sharing and worshiping with you!

Yellow Bag Report
June was a successful month for the Yellow Bag collection. We collected over 100 jars of Peanut Butter and Jelly. Half of the collection went to the Covenant Presbyterian food bank, and the second half went to the Salvation Army – Orchard location food bank. July Yellow Bag collection is for the Refugee School Backpack project. It is requested that donations in cash be made to facilitate the consistency of materials and to increase our purchasing power. On the horizon, in August we are collecting supplies for Jacob’s Learning Ladder.
Town Hall Meeting: August 11
For the next Town Hall meeting on August 11, we are asking that everyone make a recipe from a Grace Cookbook. “Don’t have one,” you say. Well, we will have them for sale for the bargain price of $5.00. See Chris and Chris at the coffee bar area on Sundays in July.
July’s Yellow Bag: Refugee Backpack Drive
The Refugee team is excited to prepare for this year’s refugee backpack drive to be held at First Presbyterian Church on July 27, 2024, 10 am – 2 pm. The International Rescue Committee asked us to prepare 900 backpacks (we prepared 700 last year)! Our church is one of several faith-based organizations coming together to help purchase supplies.
Grace Presbyterian Church has committed to providing the following three items for 495 backpacks:
- Crayola colored pencils
- Crayola thin markers
- wide-ruled filler paper
We are requesting cash donations this year to purchase consistent supplies in bulk at lower prices and tax-free. If preparing a check, please designate ‘refugee team’ on the memo line.
We need volunteers to help set up the day before (and tear down) and assist our student ‘shoppers’ on July 27. Please sign up at the bulletin board by the coffee bar.
