SERVE Stephenville – A HUGE thanks to our SERVE Stephenville host team and all of the work they put into making our 3rd year of SERVE amazing! Thank you for sharing your God-given gifts with our SERVE students and leaders! Your service reflects Christ’s love and strengthens our community.
Monthly Capital Campaign – The August capital campaign is for Backpack Buddies of Erath County. They are a local, non-profit organization that provides children from food-insecure homes with healthy weekend meals during the school year. School principals and guidance counselors select the children. On Fridays, the backpacks are prepared and delivered to Stephenville ISD, and the program has now expanded to include Dublin, Lingleville, Huckabay, Morgan Mill, Bluff Dale, and 3-Way ISD. The average cost to feed 1 child per weekend is $5.00. For 6 weeks is $30.00; per semester $90.00; and per school year is $180.00. We will take the offering on Sunday, August 23rd.
Church/School Facility Expansion Committee – We are seeking individuals who are interested in joining a Church/School Facility Expansion Committee as we begin to prayerfully consider and plan for our future growth needs. This committee will help assess current space, identify future needs, and explore possible expansion options to support both our church and school ministries. If you are interested in serving on this committee or would like more information, please contact Roeland Stoker to learn more and discuss how you might be involved.
Plastic Hanger Drive – We are collecting adult and child-sized plastic hangers for Kingdom Threads in Dublin. Kingdom Threads was one of the SERVE worksites we had the opportunity to serve at in June, and we would love to continue supporting this wonderful ministry. A ministry of First Baptist Dublin, Kingdom Threads provides free gently used clothing, household items, books, linens, shoes, and more to people in the community, all shared with hugs, prayers, and Christ’s love. Please bring your donations to church by our first Wednesday Family Night on August 19th.
Christmas Program Director Needed – The education committee is looking for someone to lead our Children’s Christmas program. If you are interested, please let Jennifer or GeriAnn know.
Sunday School Snacks Needed – If you would like to donate any boxes of Capri-Suns or packages of gummies for our Sunday school students, please drop them off in the kitchen. Thank you!
SCRC Volunteers – We are so thankful for all of our volunteers here at Stephenville CRC. We are always looking to add people to our volunteer list for Sunday morning cookie duty, Sunday morning nursery volunteer, and/or providing a meal for Wednesday family night.
