Youth Fellowship

Ephesians 5:1-2 “Be imitators of God, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” 
The good news of resurrection is with us now and that special gift from Jesus Christ has wiped away our sins and allows us a fresh new beginning! As we accept Gods’ gift of grace, our own commitment of service be-gins. How will you choose to enrich your life by spread-ing your love with others? As the month of May brings beautiful flowers and warmer weather our Youth Fel-lowship group provides opportunities for you to share your love and talents with our church, the community, and around the world. Join us and share the love!

On Thursday, June 14 from 1pm-7pm Mrs. Renee MacKay and Megan Solano will coordinate the annual blood drive at Faith Church. The American Red Cross has graciously offered a college scholarship opportunity to eligible Junior & Senior High School students.

Megan will receive a $500 college scholarship if she reaches this goal and more importantly, we will be able to provide the gift of life! (If you are a regular donor, please do not give blood after May 1 any place else in order to qualify for this blood drive).
