#1 Help Is Available

DID YOU REALIZE you likely know or have known someone who felt unsafe in their own home or relationship but may be afraid, or unsure of how, to find help.  UWFaith invites you to the Summer Women’s Gathering, this Wednesday, July 29, 6-8:30pm. Join us for a free dinner (summer salads galore) followed by a panel discussion on recognizing the signs of intimate partner violence and domestic abuse (both physical and emotional). Child care is available (please register). REGISTER online. 

#2 VBS Joy!

Our church was alive the week of July 20-24 with all kinds of joyful activity: singing, crafts, Lego STEM, basketball, Bible stories, soccer, tug of war, minute-to-win it challenges and so much more. With the Psalms as our guide, we spent the week learning about a GOD EVERYDAY who wants us to bring our whole selves to him - the good, the bad, and the in-between. And then we capped it off with a great VBS Sunday Celebration at 9:15am on July 26. Visit our Facebook page for pix.

#3 WWF Wraps Up

We recently concluded our Wise Women of Faith worship series but you can still check out more resources from these thoughtful, amazing, women, as they share their hearts and insights through sermons, conversation and blog posts. We also have some remaining books for sale and a display in Fellowship Hall if you missed a week or want to follow-up on any of these WWF on your own.
