Welcome Grow Serve Celebrate

Wednesday Night Re:Treat Tonight!
A few reminders as we gather: We want everyone to continue to stay safe and keep the germ spread to a minimum. We will have servers prepare plates for our children and adults, and we ask that you sanitize your hands as you enter and as you leave. To-go plates will be made at 6:30 after everyone has been served.
We hope this is a time of fellowship and hospitality for all so look around for new faces, learn a name, and lend a hand to one another. We will require an RSVP by the Sunday before so that we may be good stewards of our resources. You may RSVP via the bulletin on Sunday, by calling the church office, or via the newsletter each week (remember the newsletter RSVP will be a week ahead, not the day of). To RSVP for next Wednesday, September 21, click  HERE.

BIG HOUSE BOOKS doesn’t judge a book by its cover. We believe in literacy for all – including those in our correctional facilities.

When: Saturday, September 17th; 10am - Noon
Where: 133 Millsaps Ave, Jackson
What: Big House Books, a non-profit, volunteer organization that sends free books by request to prisoners in MS correctional facilities in order to promote literacy and be a vehicle of change for prison reform.
