Serve Opportunity: College Ministry Care Packages
Vision
Lord willing, college students will begin joining us in the coming weeks. It was exciting to see them come this past spring and we look forward to having them back soon. Our prayer is that they would grow in their faith in Christ and connect with the church. This begins with us reaching out to them. Showing the love of Christ often begins with hospitality. We hope these care packages will help provide a warm hospitable welcome for them, care for them by feeding them, and provide resources to encourage and shape their spiritual growth.

Upcoming College Ministry Events
- Aug 22 & Aug 29 – Welcome Table after Lord’s Day worship
- After the service for two weeks, we will hand out care packages to students, offer Bibles & Table Talk magazines, and gather their contact information.
Our next step is to connect students relationally with the congregation. This will consist of things like bible studies, host families, mentor relationships, and service opportunities. Pray as we prepare for this. Pray that the students hearts would be softened to the gospel as they gather with us to worship the Lord each week.
