  • 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.

    • 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. 
    • Save the Date: Save the date. Our health and wellness ministry will be sponsoring a group walk on Saturday, March 22nd. Time and location TBD.
