Please pray for this great ministry opportunity.

Western Wake Crisis Center is in desperate need of food donations. I want to challenge the kids in 252 Basics to put others first by bringing in one canned food item to church tomorrow and/or next Sunday. You can bring in as much as you’d like, but the challenge is for 1 can only. What a simple way to put others first!

There will be a box for donations set up in class. I thank you in advance for the donations!

In His Service,

In October 2006, Holly Spring’s resident, Jack Murray was diagnosed with Common Variable Immune Deficiency. As a result, he has contracted an untreatable brain infection. Now three years old, he receives weekly treatments to slow the degenerative process. This fundraiser is to help offset some of the mounting medical costs that his parents are facing.

As part of The Village Church at Holly Springs’ Faith in Action Day, you are encouraged to put your faith into action and volunteer for this worthwhile cause. Volunteers are needed to transport tables and tents for set-up and clean-up, face painting, spotters on the inflatables, silent auction monitors, and other easy tasks. 4/9/08 Update on volunteers:  Most volunteer spots are full however, we still need men with trucks to help transport tables and tents and help set up in the morning and tear down in the evening!  It is important that we fill these remaining openings !!! No special talents or skills required, just a heart for Christ and a love for the community we serve.

• Imagine a garage sale where everything is in good condition, some of it new, and all of it free.
• Imagine kids turning down doughnuts and cookies because they are filling their shopping bags with free toys.
• Imagine people joyfully sharing what they have with people who need those things.
• Imagine God’s love flowing freely between people and touching each and every heart.
• Imagine people who receive help coming back with items they want to share with others.
