- Sylvia Yanez Update: Hello brothers and sisters, just want to praise God for being a loving Father. Sylvia had a procedure done on a cyst on her liver this past Wednesday and things couldn't have gone any better.

Sylvia has started receiving care from hospice as of Monday and we are hoping she continues to remain faithful and trusting God through this journey. Again, I want to thank all of you for your prayers, cards, flowers, texts and love during this time. We love our church family and are grateful for each of you! Love in Christ, Viviana Kesel

HOPE:
- May 3rd with Nourish up: The highest number of households experiencing food insecurity are in the west corridor. Having enough food to feed their families is a daily challenge for many of our neighbors. We have an opportunity on May 3rd with Nourish up, formerly known as Loaves and Fishes, to help these neighbors. Nourish-up is the agency that provides food for the majority of the food pantries that serve the west corridor. They have entrusted us to man their new warehouse on Saturday, May 3rd in 2 shifts to sort donations, prepare food boxes and fill orders for the pantries that they serve. We are in need of 20 volunteers for each shift. Please click here to go to the HOPE Charlotte Volunteer Hub to register. Please note: You must create a HOPE account to participate in these service projects. After signing up on the Volunteer Hub for the Nourish-up service project your registration is complete. You will be asked to sign the Nourish-up volunteer waiver when you arrive. This is an excellent opportunity for you to invite a friend to serve along with you. This project is for volunteers 14 and older. You must wear close-toed shoes.
