Nazarene Youth Conference! – July 4-10, 2023
What is NYC? Hosted by the Church of the Nazarene and taking place in Tampa next summer, NYC is an event where thousands of teens from Nazarene churches across the continent gather together for an unmatched opportunity of spiritual growth: powerful messages, live worship in an arena, service projects across the city, concerts with top Christian artists, interactive experiences/games, exciting excursions, and more! This takes place only every 4 years and is for teens currently finishing 7th-11th grade. Cost is $1800 with a $500 down payment due on October 1. There will be fundraisers to raise money. Don’t miss this life changing experience!

MINISTRY TO OTHERS
Café Ministry for August
This month, we will be supporting the Alton Family with our café donations. On July 4, 2021, Joshua Alton was diagnosed with Stage 4 Metastatic Ewing’s Sarcoma. The tumor left him immobile from the waist down. Their family is in need of a wheelchair-accessible van to help transport Joshua as they travel back and forth to DC for treatments, 3 hours from home. Let’s help bear the burden for this family and make this purchase a reality!
Service Day at First Fruits Farm l Saturday, September 10
First Fruits Farm is a non-profit Christian ministry dedicated to providing fresh, nutritious produce to those experiencing hunger in the Mid-Atlantic region. Volunteers have helped harvest over 20 million pounds of fruits and vegetables to share with local food banks, homeless shelters, soup kitchens and other food providers. On Saturday, September 10, we will be taking a group of volunteers to work in the fields to pick fruit as a service project. All café profits will go to First Fruits, so stop by, have a great coffee and help support this great ministry! You can sign-up to help HERE.
Crisis Care Kits & School Pal Paks!
Crisis Care Kits are collected year round as there is always a need for them! The start of school is coming soon and stores are having sales on school supplies. It’s a great time to start purchasing to fill School Pal Paks, which get shipped to children in need in other countries. You may pick up the list of items to fill a kit or pak at the Welcome Center or get the instructions here.
