🧼 Our NEW Personal Care Pantry is OPEN! 🧴

We’re excited to expand the ways we care for our neighbors with a Little Free Pantry dedicated specifically to personal care and hygiene items.

We’re looking for donations of new, unopened items such as soap, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrushes, feminine hygiene products, razors, diapers, wipes, and other everyday personal care necessities.

Just like our food pantry, this pantry is available to anyone who needs a little extra help—no questions asked. Take what you need. Give what you can. ❤️

Donations can be placed directly in the pantry or dropped off at the church office, and we’ll restock it as needed.

These may seem like small things, but access to basic hygiene products can make a huge difference in someone’s dignity, health, and confidence.

Thank you for helping us care for our neighbors, one bar of soap, bottle of shampoo, and package of necessities at a time. 💛

❤️ Thank You for Filling Our Pantry! ❤️

We are so grateful for the incredible response to our Little Free Pantry! Thank you to everyone who has donated and helped us keep the shelves stocked for our neighbors. Your generosity makes a real difference in our community.

Just a reminder that ongoing donations are always welcome! Donations of shelf-stable food and other pantry items can be:

🥫 Placed directly in the Little Free Pantry, or
❤️ Dropped off by the church office

Our team checks the pantry regularly and restocks it as needed, so donations left at the church will make their way to the pantry when supplies run low.

Thank you for continuing to help us care for our neighbors. Take what you need. Give what you can. Together, we care for one another. ❤️

❤️ Our Little Free Pantry Needs Your Help! ❤️

Our Little Free Pantry is being emptied—and refilled—several times each week, which means it is doing exactly what we hoped it would do: feeding our neighbors and helping families in our community when they need a little extra support.

Right now, our shelves are especially in need of shelf-stable, dry goods, including:

🥫 Canned vegetables, fruit, soups & meats
🍝 Pasta & pasta sauce
🥣 Cereal & oatmeal
🥜 Peanut butter & jelly
🍚 Rice & boxed meals
🫘 Beans
🍪 Crackers & snacks
🧃 Juice boxes and other shelf-stable drinks

Any donation—large or small—is deeply appreciated!

Donations can be placed directly in the Little Free Pantry or dropped off at the church, and we will use them to restock the pantry as needed.

Thank you for helping us care for our neighbors and reminding our community that there is always enough love to share. ❤️

Take what you need. Give what you can. Together, we care for one another.

Using our math brains at STEM camp as we get ready for back-to-school as we focus on patterns, guesstimating and estimating.

💙 Faith got a little messy at Worship Lab this week!

Our kids made blue slime to represent the water Jesus walked on and used mini Jesus figurines to retell the story. Through play, creativity, and a whole lot of slime, we remembered that Jesus meets us—even when the waters feel rough. ✝️

We love finding hands-on ways to help our kids experience the stories of our faith!

Starting college is about more than finding your classes. It's also about finding a community where you can belong. 🙌

Whether you're beginning your first semester or returning to campus, our Campus Ministries are here to help you grow in faith, build meaningful friendships, ask big questions, and discover new ways to serve.

Parents, family members, and students are all invited to submit the form so campus ministry staff can reach out and help make that connection before the semester begins.

Tag a college student or share this post with a family preparing for move-in season. It could help someone find their community this fall. ❤️

Our morning started at mini camp with hammocks and bows and arrows. We have big plans this afternoon with the climbing wall, flying squirrel, yard games, and the pool!
