- From Jackie Scott: Thank you all who have been continuously praying for, praying with, supporting and encouraging me throughout my entire journey during Tony’s illness and passing. No words can express my level of gratitude. Some of you have truly gone above and beyond embracing me and applying James 1:27 "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." Please continue praying for my mother, Elizabeth Twitty, as she has been dealing with multiple digestive and breathing issues. She is steadily improving daily. We nearly lost her this past weekend but with the proper treatments she is close to being well enough to be discharged soon. Many of you have been praying for my dad, Aaron Fisher, as he battled a degenerative lung disease for several years. He passed away Monday (9/16). Funeral services are Monday (9/23). Thank you all again for all of the prayers, love, and support.
- AnJanette Edgar: James Edgar is in New Mexico this weekend to visit his father - from Friday through Tuesday. So AnJanette needs visitors. She is at Myers Park Nursing Center, 300 Providence Rd, Room 202. You can text her at 704-400-5988 to let her know you're coming. She may ask you to bring food. Thank you all.
- Tim and Charlene Franklin: Dear Family and Friends of Tim and Charlene Franklin, as you all know, Tim Franklin, our dear brother in Christ continues to recover at home from a long-term illness, which has left him bedridden. Charlene has to work, pay for his nursing care, which is not all covered by insurance and serves as his caregiver after a long day of work. The cost for his care is not all covered by insurance and his medical care is very expensive. Please help our brother and sister in Christ by donating any amount you can. Your support would be greatly appreciated. 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽

FOCUS Ministry:
Youth & Family Ministry:
- THANK YOU!!! The Youth and Family Ministry thank everyone who donated to the hygiene kit drive and thank those who volunteered to serve on September 21st during our service day. The middle schoolers, teens and parents who served not only gave their time, but also gave their hearts. We donated lots of hygiene items and encouraged many hearts. It was a great day loving and serving the homeless and our community neighbors. Matthew 25:34-40, “….Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”
- Committed to Serve: We will continue with our commitment to serve alongside Street Corners Ministries/MMOG for the remainder of 2024. Therefore, mark the following dates on your calendar: October 19, November 16 and December 21- the 3rd Saturday of the next 3 months. You can come to all service days or just one. Each date is an opportunity for us to give our time and energy to focus on others, focus on those in need. Additionally, you can credit the time spent towards volunteer hours.
