♦    Florida's Back-to-School Tax-Free Holiday runs through August 20--the perfect time to stock up on school supplies. While you're shopping, please consider picking up a few items for our August School Supply Drive benefiting Oscar J. Pope Elementary School. Drop off donations in the Fellowship Hall. Thank you for supporting local students and teachers!

♦    Renewing the Church:  The church & the world are changing rapidly, but the good news of Jesus is timeless! Join P. Olga-Maria & Tom Hager in the Fellowship Hall August 9th at 11:20 for the next in our series of discussions on Renewing the Church. 

♦    The quilters have received a grant from the Thrivent Action Teams for $250.  This will be used to buy batting and supplies for the quilts. We would also like to thank everyone who has donated all the lovely fabrics.

♦     Social Ministry July Focus: Christmas in July. Our annual “Christmas in July” collection helps sustain both the church’s daily operations and our outreach to our community. In addition to paper goods and office supplies, we’re now welcoming gift cards to share with neighbors navigating difficult times.
