RE:MINISTRY NEWS, NOTES AND UPDATES
Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ our Savior, LORD and Life Giver King. “Beloved, I pray above all things that you are prospering and in good health, even as your souls prosper.” (3rd John verse 2).
Family, please receive and share the following updates, news, notes and ministry highlights.
First, I thank our God for you always, in every prayer of mine, remembering our labor and love, your witness and work, our worship and more as the family of God.
Mission projects @ TWC- Over the past several weeks we have been blessed to give hundreds of clothing items to those in need through our relationship with Casa De Amore in Mesa. Thank you to everyone who donated gently used and new clothing to those in need.
The international mission project formerly known as Jamaica Outreach Ministries led by Rev. Estelle Walker hosted a fundraising event that raised one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) for local and international missions. Thank you for your gifts.
In the final week of school, we partnered with Principal Eric Hedrick and Lindbergh Elementary School to donate a bicycle to a deserving student. As Principal Hedrick, faculty and staff of Lindbergh begin to meet prior to the start of the new school year we will donate continental breakfast to their team. More information on this is forthcoming.
Through the contribution and kindness of a Christian sister (who requested not to be named) we gave away Christian books and art work on a Sunday morning in June. Just last Sunday, June 26, 2022 as we move to go digital in our sharing of books- more Christian books from our church office and Pastor Fort’s library as well as donations of hand sanitizer and more were given away. Thank you to everyone who donated hand sanitizer and more.
