NICU PARENT CARE BASKETS

The NICU is the last place a new parent expects to end up at the birth of their newborn.  Most are unprepared and feel lost in the moment.  We have an opportunity to shine a little light and hope into this uncertain time for them!  Come and prepare care baskets and write encouraging notes to these precious people that they will receive in their time of need.  We are also collecting items for these baskets each Sunday leading up to Serve Our City Day (August 19) — Click Here to see what is needed!

FCHS TEACHER SUPPLY SHOEBOX BLITZ

The teachers of FCHS have been more than generous over the past 9 years as they have willingly allowed us to use their classrooms for our Kid's Ministry and other various meetings.  We would love to bless them back with a generous donation of school supplies, snacks and other goodies for the upcoming school year!  We will be collecting shoeboxes filled with items that they would normally have to purchase on their own.  Click Here to view a list of supplies to fill your box(es) with and drop off at the Church Lobby from now until Serve Day!
