We Need You for Wednesday Night Supper!
Plans are being made to continue Wednesday Night Supper meals for the new school year, but help is needed. Meal team leaders/helpers, servers, set-up, clean-up, and occasional help are all needed. Please contact Carolyn Matthews if you are willing and able to help in any way. If you are not able to volunteer for a regular meal rotation but you or a small group can prepare one or two meals during the year, that will help a lot! The more people involved, the better!
Contact Carolyn through email (carolyn@thematthews.ws) or phone (336-407-2683).
Wednesday Night Schedule returns soon
Our regular Wednesday Night Schedule will return on September 5. We will have Wednesday Night Dinner at 5:45 pm, followed by Adult Bible Study at 6:30 pm and Children’s Choirs at 6:30, Youth Missions at 6:45 pm, and Children’s Mission groups at 7 pm. Learn more here.
Prayer Partner Ministry set to begin August 26
A powerful part of what we do at College Park is our Prayer Partner Ministry. Every child, youth, and college student in our church is partnered with an adult who prays for them on a regular basis throughout the school year. With the new school year about to begin, we will be reshuffling our prayer partners. At the end of Celebration Sunday on August 26, every student in our church will have am envelope available to be picked up by our adult church members. All we ask of our adults is to keep these students in their ongoing prayers as well as communicate with them on a periodic basis. This is a simple task that has an eternal impact. Please pray about being part of this invaluable ministry.
Please note: If you wish to continue with your current prayer partner for the coming school year, please let Jeff know by August 11.
