WORSHIP WITHOUT WALLS!
On Sunday, July 31st, we will have a Worship Without Walls experience. We will come together for a short worship service, then we will serve God by helping others. There will be some work projects here at the church, and several others in the community. All projects are designed to be no more than two hours long. Children and adults can participate! Projects include Bethlehem Center (mopping gym floor, painting), John Early Middle School (putting out fresh mulch on the grounds), Buena Vista School (touch-up painting in classrooms), Christian Life Center Rooftop Garden (weeding the planters), McKendree Church (organizing and packing the Christmas in July gifts, McKendree clothes closet (folding and organizing clothing). Sign-up sheets will be on the tables at the front and back of the church on Sunday, or you may m at the church office for more details (615-271-2600, or ).
GIVE A GIFT OF HOPE
“Faith” the Cow is at the church to remind you to bring your gift, so that she can be a “Gift of Hope” for a family. You can help her get to the right family through your donation to our Mission Project. Our Evangelism/Mission/Social Justice Team has a mission focus with Heifer International. Our goal is to raise $500 to purchase a cow for an impoverished community. We are currently over $270; we’re over the half-way mark! Donations can be made through our website (https://mckendreetoday.com/#/give-online).
Week of July 24-30 Give the price of one meal at your favorite restaurant.
