THIS SUNDAY (August 1st) is our next collection day to bring food for our Kearny families! If you’d like to be involved in this process but did not sign up for a specific item, please feel free to bring NONPERISHABLE food items to whichever service you normally attend. The food bins will be at the Welcome Tent — just place it in whichever one looks least full!

We also need help delivering food to our families this Sunday. We meet at the Welcome Tent at 12:30pm and it takes about 1 hour. Email us if you’re interested!

Did you know that anecdotal figures show that 80% of students fall away from their faith between graduation and retirement? Did you know that 8 million live in Greater London, where 40% represent an ethnic minority, 320 languages are spoken, and 600,000 are Muslim?
Join us this Sunday August 1, 2010 at 4:30pm to learn more about Campus Crusade’s marketplace ministry in the heart of London where Jon and Kathy Horne are missionaries. You will learn more about how you can pray for them as they continue to share what God is doing in the lives of young adults in one of the most strategic, post-Christian cities in the world.
Kathy Horne is currently visiting the U.S. to raise financial support and help teach others about the needs of London. There’s no obligation to give. Just come and eat some free food, have a refreshing drink and listen as Kathy teaches us more about Campus Crusade’s marketplace ministry in the heart of London.
