Both adults and children make up our mission team heading to Belize next month! Some of the kids going on the trip have put together a drive to collect items to take over to hand out to the kids in Belize.
They are collecting new and gently used Christian children’s books and small (no larger than 4-5 inch) stuffed animals. Their goal is 75 books and 75 stuffed animals. (For those concerned about the books and a language barrier, English is actually the official language in Belize ?)
We will be helping them collect these items through Sunday, July 9. If you would like to bring items in, there will be a place to drop them off in the Atrium. These girls are very excited to be able to bring gifts to the children of Belize!

Chest Of Joash
The Chest of Joash provides an opportunity to give above and beyond the normal tithe. The money from it goes directly to work needed done on our building.
In 2 Chronicles 24 we find Joash repairing the temple and a chest was set outside of it for people to bring a tithe that was used to pay the workers restoring the temple. Verse 10 says, “And all the princes and all the people rejoiced and brought their tax and dropped it into the chest until they had finished.”
A huge THANK YOU to all of you who have joyfully donated just as the Israelite officials and people did!
You can give to the Chest of Joash by clicking the button below and selecting “Chest of Joash” in the drop down menu.
