It is with great joy that we announce that the congregation has donated over $85,000 toward the Ugandan Grannies Drought Relief Project! This means that at least 8 deliveries of basic food supplies can be made to the 220 families in the Grannie Program or working at The Way Home Center. These deliveries will meet the basic food needs of these families for months to come. Please continue in prayer that God will send rain to relieve the ongoing drought in Uganda. Pray too that in the face of such a trial God will draw many to faith in Jesus Christ – the Living Water.
ESL Plus Pre-Registration will be this Monday, September 13 and Wednesday, September 15 from 9:30 - 11:30 a.m..

Opportunity to Serve
Children’s Ministry: Although we have many volunteers, we are still struggling to meet needs.
Our Nurseries are dangerously low on volunteers each week
Our Sunday School classes still need 3 teachers and 6 helpers. The application can be found here!
Our T&T Girls program on Wednesday night is in need of a Director and many more leaders. You must be a member to fill this role.
Children’s Ministry can not happen without volunteers. Please consider serving if you are able! If you are unable to serve, would you please pray that God would provide the people to fill these needs? If you have questions on how to get plugged in, please email Hannah Haney or call the church office.
We are in need of Wednesday night drivers and bus captains for our REACH program. If you are interested, please contact James Ware or John Hoogenboom.
Congratulations!
Dave and Carol Long celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on September 3!
