Sunday, August 12^th will be a combined adult Sunday school on writing your faith to get those creative juices flowing! This class will be led by Reverend Nadine Ellsworth-Moran in the Fellowship Hall.

Gap Youth Board Recruitment Letter

GAP is a local nonprofit that provides help to the homeless and to those living on the margins. Through services such as a food pantry, clothing closet, prescription drug ministry, bin ministry, diaper ministry, and birth certificate and ID ministry; GAP fulfills its mission. Last year the GAP Youth Board was started as a way to get young people involved in the community. The youth board meets once a month on Sunday afternoons and discusses ways to improve and assist Gap in its mission. One thing the board did last year was to collect socks in the winter months after we saw that the clothing closet was in need of them. Not only is the board a way to serve but it is also a way to connect youth from all over the Augusta area who have a passion and a heart for ministry. We are looking for more members to be on our youth board, please email me atgraceannehuff@comcast.net. Thank You!
