Engaging our Community:
Engage provided over 20 backpacks and 2 large boxes full of school supplies for students whose parents struggle to resource them with what they need to return to school later this month. Engage is committed to Engaging our Community. Part of resourcing needs in our community is to experience those needs firsthand. It’s easy to buy a backpack and put it in a box on a Sunday morning. Maybe you need to start there, that’s ok. But the next step beyond that is actually seeing the needs firsthand, learning the stories and struggles of what leads to those needs, and being reminded of the importance of real people right here in our backyard. So please pray for Engage and pray the community Engage finds itself a part of. Prayer reminds us that we are often the answer to the prayers we pray on behalf of others. JOIN us this Saturday from 10:30 - 1:30 p.m. and volunteer as we join with others at Project Share Fun Fest and help us distribute school supplies. 5 North Orange Street in Carlisle. When you arrive to volunteer please ask for Diane Baltaef. She will find you a place to serve.
Engaging together

Jon,
I just wanted to say you and your flock are doing a wonderful job of making people Like me feel so welcome by the Lord in his house. You are a great vessel for God and I’m glad to have found such a wonderful home of acceptance. I know I’m a little diffrent from others, but if there is anything I could ever do for you and Amy, let me know. I have such a burden to share the love of the lord with everyone there, as will as outside of the church. I have been helping people for years. Just letting them know to pay it forward to others as God wants us to do. I see you doing this all the time. You and Amy are a great inspuration. ( Forgive my sppelling).
Thank you and may God always be with you and your family. TC
