Small Group Lunches

One of the goals that we have discussed in this group is to connect as pastors in the community. To this end, an idea that came out of our last meeting is for each of us who were present to invite three or four other pastors in the community to have lunch together. These small group lunches will give us an opportunity to get to know one another a little better and to share some of the possibilities for working together.

What a blessing it is to work together in the Kingdom of God!

Next Meeting

Thursday August 27th at 9:00am at White Hill Church of the Brethren.

All are invited!

Our meetings are over between 10 and 10:15, so that we can plan accordingly.

School Supply Giveaway

Stuarts Draft Baptist Church is having a school supply giveaway on Sat. August 15th from 9:00am-12:00pm. They will be offering school supplies, gently used clothing, haircuts, and presentations from local agencies such as the Office on Youth, AMC, and Comfort Care for Women.

This is a fantastic way to provide for folks in our community who cannot afford to get their children and youth ready for school.

They welcome donations of school supplies (school supplies lists for any school in the county are available at Wal-Mart), monetary donations, new or gently-used clothing size 5 - large, volunteers for either August 15 or helping to set-up one evening prior to August 15, and additional hairdressers to provide children haircuts on Aug. 15.

Any supplies, clothing, monetary donations need to be dropped off at the Stuarts Draft Baptist church office by Monday August 10.

Anyone wanting to volunteer in any way needs to let Rosemary Sparks know by August 10.
