Each month on the first Sunday you’re encouraged to take home a re-usable yellow grocery bag, put some non-perishable items in it, and bring it back the next week, or soon thereafter. Our contributions this month go the Mt. Vernon Presbyterian Church food pantry. Consider bringing toilet paper or canned vegetables in September.
What do disciples do? We’re called to be disciples of Jesus Christ, but what does that mean? Beginning September 17, we explore discipleship together in worship. Each week we look at what disciples do. Disciples: Risk, Hope, Love, and Witness. This list is not exclusive but gives us plenty to think about, talk about, and to put into action.
The book club has a new night of the week. The group now meets on MONDAYS, on the last Monday of the month. The next meeting is September 25.
The next gathering is held at Pam Head’s house, 300 S Lynwood (near Eastborough) at 6:30 pm.
The book is One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp. Please read chapters 1-3 for the next meeting.
