Blessing Box Summer Needs
Thank you for continuing to support the Blessing Box. During the summer months, the need for food and basic supplies remains strong. The Blessing Box is a simple ministry of mercy. It allows neighbors to receive what they need with dignity, and it gives our congregation a practical way to care for the community around us. Thank you for helping keep it stocked.!
Helpful items include:
Peanut butter crackers, canned meats, canned pasta, canned fruit, soup, cereal, shelf-stable milk, granola bars, rice or pasta sides, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, deodorant.
Please choose items that can handle summer heat and do not require refrigeration. Pop-top cans are especially helpful.

Camp/Casual Sundays Are Coming!
Join us for two Camp/Casual Sundays this summer at 10:30 a.m. worship, followed by lunch after worship. These will be joyful summer Sundays to worship together, dress comfortably, share a meal, and celebrate the gift of camp and retreat ministry in the life of the church.
On July 12, we are glad to welcome Lori Bode, Executive Director of South Carolina Lutheran Retreat Centers.
On August 16, we are glad to welcome Pastor Nathan Gragg, Chief Development Officer of NovusWay Ministries.
Camp and retreat ministries have shaped the faith of children, youth, adults, and congregations for generations. These places give people room to worship, pray, learn, serve, laugh, sing, and hear God’s call in a setting away from the usual routines of daily life.
Many people can point to a camp, retreat, youth event, or time away where something important opened in their faith. Sometimes it happens around a campfire. Sometimes it happens during worship. Sometimes it happens at a meal, on a hike, in a cabin conversation, or through the simple gift of Christian community.
On both Sundays, wear something comfortable. Camp shirts, church shirts, casual clothes, sandals, sneakers, and summer colors are all welcome. Come ready for worship, fellowship, and lunch.
Come as you are. Bring a friend. Stay for lunch. Let’s celebrate the God who meets us in worship, in community, and sometimes even outside.
God’s Helping Hands current needs as of July 1st are: miscellaneous canned vegetables, canned meats, peanut butter, jelly, cereal, crackers, canned fruit and Jiffy cornbread mix. Please place donations in the container in the Cameron Hallway.
