- Carrielynn Utley’s family: Please be praying for my family in Indiana. My Aunt is in the last stages of her life. She has inoperable bone cancer in her face. My Aunt and her family have been through so much the past couple of years with death and a lot of family anger. Please pray for my cousin Micheal and his daughter Jennifer. They are having to deal with all of this all at once. My uncle died just over a year ago, my cousin Michael’s wife died about 9 months ago abruptly and my aunt's cancer came back about 3 months ago with no treatment at all for her just comforting medication. She doesn’t know who people are at this point. She is in hospice at home but is being moved to a facility today. Please pray for peace in her heart with God and comfort. Pray for Micheal and Jennifer for their comfort and strength. Micheal is in remission for his cancer as of last year and his body is healing still. They need God's strength.
- Update on Sylvia Yanez: Dear brothers and sisters, First of all, thanks to those of you who have visited and spent time with my mom, she truly enjoys getting to see people. She had her first immunotherapy treatment; this is being done to shrink tumors and slow down the spread of the cancer. She did very well, and she will have another treatment in 21 days. She continues to stay strong emotionally and spiritually and I'm so proud of her! If you would like to visit, please text Viviana at 704-737-8001 to arrange a time. Sylvia continues to get easily tired and now has to be careful to not be exposed to viruses. If you would like to send a card, please send to Sylvia Yanez 11225 Laurel View Dr. Charlotte, NC 28273 Love in Christ, Viviana Kesel

- Blood Drive: Thank you to all blood donors and volunteers who participated in our February blood drive! As a result of your contributions, we were able to help the Red Cross collect 32 pints of blood. Our next blood drive will be in August.
- Volunteer Opportunity: 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 March 15th 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, March 15th 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 begin your registration process. Please note: You must create a HOPE account to participate in these service projects. After signing up on the Volunteer Hub, your confirmation email will have the instructions for registering to become a Nourish-up warehouse operations volunteer. 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 closed toed shoes.
