Serve the Community at a 5K
One of our values is engaging and serving the community. Besides helping South Dover Elementary School PTA serve kids, you will get a free race day t-shirt and get fed!
They need help monitoring kids games and runners on the course from 9am-2pm (or as long as you can help).
For more info, about the race, check out: http://southdover5k.com.

How do you impact the world?
Here’s one creative way that someone explains to people what he does as a pastor. It really speaks to the impact of being part of the Kingdom of God. Hope you enjoy!
Helping the Homeless
Code Purple was a huge help to the homeless this winter. As that program winds down in the spring, many will find themselves without places to stay and access to clothing, etc. As many of you know, we provide food, hygiene products and clothing (primarily for men) for the homeless year round. If you’d like to get involved, here are some ways:
Donate Clothes: We need used men’s clothing, jeans, socks and sneakers (size 9 1/2 thru 11). As you do your spring cleaning, think of us and we’ll pass things along.
Hygiene Products: We maintain a supply of toothpaste, deodorant, soap, etc. that helps those living on the streets to maintain a level of hygiene that helps them find employment, etc.
Pickup or Heat Sandwiches: We have volunteers pick up food during the day Monday thru Friday from WaWa and bring it to the church building. On Sundays, we heat sandwiches after church and pass them out at a place downtown. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, we currently heat sandwiches in the morning and deliver them to The Interfaith Day Resource Center (where homeless people can shower, do laundry, get help getting an ID, get help finding jobs, etc.).
Salvation Army Lunch: Every other month, volunteers provide a meal and serve lunch at the Salvation Army downtown.
To get involved or fund on, contact us, comment below or talk to me (Jeff) on Sunday.
Join us for Alpha tonight (Thursday, March 12)
If you are new to the faith, want to go a bit deeper with things or just checking things out, you’ll find this course helpful. Due to snow, we postponed a week and would love to have you join us tonight at the church building at 6:45pm for coffee, snack, a short video and a great discussion. For more info, check out the previous announcement.
Detox Your Brain
The Apostle Paul writes in Romans 12:2 to be transformed by the renewing of your minds. Science is proving that our very thoughts impact our spirit, soul and body. We are wired for love, and designed to choose between good thoughts and those that are toxic by changing the programming and chemistry of our brains. It is our will and our attitude that gives us the ability to determine, achieve, and maintain optimal levels of intelligence, mental health, peace and happiness, as well as the prevention of disease in your body and mind. Through conscious effort, gain control of thoughts, feelings, and in doing so, can change the programming and chemistry of your brain.
Come join us as we review Dr. Caroline Leaf’s “Switch on Your Brain”. The discussion group will meet Sundays before the worship service and will start March 1. To check out the book, connect with the group and join the discussion, see Grant on Sunday, comment below or contact us!
