SACPC Weekly Updates for July 23, 2023

To Staff, Members, and Friends of SACPC:

We are so grateful for the outpouring of love that we experienced upon her illnesses and subsequent death.  We deeply appreciate those who took part in the Witness to the Resurrection service on July 1, and the reception which followed. And the memorial gifts will keep on giving. Thank you for reminding us that the Christian faith is a resurrection faith. While we miss her terribly, we are comforted by the knowledge that "in life and in death we are comforted by the Lord."

From: The Family of Louise Selden Howell

July Kindermusik Playdates July 22 Elizabeth Gray will be offering Kindermusik Playdates all summer long! Register now for the July 22nd Playdate at 10:00 am. As we sing, dance, and make music, we will focus on embracing our individuality while learning from one another. You get the same Kindermusik fun and learning in the classroom . . . and the same high-quality music to enjoy at home, but in a stand-alone class so you can try it out!

Breakfast Sunday July 31 July has a 5th Sunday - so we will be gathering for fellowship and breakfast in Brown Hall at 10:00 am between worship services. Our youth group will be beginning their local mission work in our very own kitchen with our very own Jim Williams preparing and serving breakfast for our church family. Breakfast is free - but cash donations will be collected that morning to offset the cost of the food and go towards our mission work that week.

Attention Rising 6th Graders! Immediate Need Rising 6th-grade students will be joining our youth group this fall - but our Youth Director, Jen Phelps, needs to know you are out there (and start connecting with parents) NOW! Please contact Jen with information about rising 6th graders and their families ASAP: jphelps@sacpc.org or 910-790-9103.
