Friendship Ministries Update: The Friendship Ministries Board met on September 16 and reluctantly decided that we should delay meeting together again until January 11, 2021. We recognize that Friendship Ministries is a great time of Bible study and social interaction that many of us have been missing since last March, and deeply regret that we cannot be together sooner than January. However,we also know that we have vulnerable individuals in our group and would deeply regret anything happening to a Friend or Mentor if we weren’t responsible about keeping everyone safe. Please keep us in your prayers as we look for ways to support our group over the coming months,until we can meet again.
MISSION OF THE MONTH: The offerings received in September will be going to Bob Abel for his work with Remember Nhu. The amount received to date is $3,394.75.

Kids Hope Pen Pal Mentoring 2020 – Kids Hope USA Update: Due to COVID-19 restrictions, and for the safety of our mentors and students, we will NOT be meeting in person with our students this fall. Our desire, of course, is for the students we mentor to know we care and know we want to connect with them – even if it’s different for a while. So to begin the school year, we will be connecting via ‘old-school pen pals’. The mentors have all been given some guidelines, and with the help of the guidance counselor, we will make sure our students get a card, letter or treat of some kind each week. The students will be encouraged to write back to their mentors, providing them an opportunity to practice their writing. If you were a prayer partner last year, could you please connect with your mentor to see how you can best support them? Even if you aren’t a prayer partner, please pray for the students, faculty, and our mentors as they try this new way of staying connected. These are challenging times, but God is aware of every need and no challenge is too big for Him!
NOTE: See You At The Pole has been postponed until a later date. Watch the bulletin for future updates.
