There is a sign-up sheet in the church foyer, for those who wish to help with "Fellowship Hour". Fellowship hour is a time to
share together and enjoy coffee, tea, cookies or baked goods and it will be held on the third Sunday of the month after service. There are
several opportunities to help in various ways each month so be sure to check it out. For more information, please see Wanda Baird.
Operation Christmas Child
Shoeboxes will be arriving in September and will be available for pick up at the church. However, you may want to use one of your own
shoe/boot boxes to fill with approved items and gifts to bless those kids around the world as they also hear the Good News about Jesus.
Summer is a great time to find those special gifts and back to school items. Remember to check to ensure your gifts are approved for shipping.
Go to https://www.samaritanspurse.org/operation-christmas-child/what-goes-in-my-shoebox-suggestions/ to see what is allowed. Collection week is November 16-24 2025 so you have
plenty of time. But don't put it off!
The next Men's Breakfast will be Saturday September 6th at 8:30 AM in the fellowship hall. It's a great time to meet and share with the
men of the church. There will be fantastic food, and a super devotional message from God's Word. Men of all ages are welcome. It's a great time to invite
someone that doesn't know the Lord and be able to share a fine breakfast and have them hear about Jesus's love for them. Men: pray about who you can invite.
Women's Conference
Ladies, mark your calendars for the Women’s Conference in Redding. It will be Saturday, September 13th 2025 at 9:00 AM with a time of worship on
Friday evening, September 12th at 7:30 PM. The conference title is "Unwavering" - Isaiah 26:3 - "You will keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You." Speaking at the conference this year is Janie Alfred and leading worship will be Gia Lucid.
The conference cost is $35 per person and includes lunch. Gluten free lunch option is available with on-line registration. Registration is now open
and can be reached at: https://lccredding.breezechms.com/form/d3303f11668256423944. Many ladies like to go over to Redding earlier on Friday to do some shopping and such. A paper sign-up sheet for carpooling and
hotel roomies is in the church foyer. Hotel rooms are NOT being held as in years past. It is suggested to book a room for yourself and a friend on your own.
Many found this less expensive. The SureStay hotel on Larkspur Lane is where some will be staying. Scholarships are available for those finding it
a challange at this time.
Ladies' Summer Bible Study
Sue Wheeler is hosting the summer Bible study for ladies. It is being held at 10:00 am on Thursdays in her home on Rohnerville Road in Fortuna.
The book for the study is available in the church bookstore for $12.00. If you have questions, contact Sue.
