School Begins

Tuesday, August 11

August 11 is the first day of school! Please pray for our ELC staff and students as they begin another school year. You are also welcome to attend chapel services every Wednesday at 9am in the Sanctuary.

Breakfast with Baby is Shepherd’s monthly event serving families with children 2 years and younger, and women who are at least 7 months pregnant. On July 11, we served breakfast and a devotion to 60 individuals from 22 families (4 new families) which included 38 children! Families were able to shop for diapers, clothes and other available items. 

For the August 8 event, Size 4 & 5 diapers are needed as well as wipes & Size 3T & 4T boy’s clothes. Additional volunteers would be very helpful.

You’ve lost your loved one and have so much to take care of. Your grief is so overwhelming. Is this how you or someone you know is feeling? You’re welcome to join our next session in August or invite someone you know who is grieving the loss of a loved one. All meetings are in the Atrium and include refreshments. More information/registration at griefshare.org.
