During both our 9:00am and 10:30am services on Sunday, July 20th, we’re inviting everyone to take a few moments to write a note of encouragement to the teachers at a local school. As the new school year approaches, we want to show our support and appreciation for those who take on one of the most important and challenging jobs out there—teaching! Every teacher will receive a handwritten note and a box of goodies, so let’s make sure they feel loved and supported. On Sunday, July 20th, stop by the Go Local wall in the Atrium to fill out a short, heartfelt message. Your words could make a big difference!

Join us as we put on Summer Fun Days for the kids at Chevy Chase July 21 - 25! We will provide lunch, crafts, a lesson, games, reading, and activities for the kids each day from 11:00am - 3:00pm! Many of the parents and guardians of children at Chevy Chase work during the day. In the summer months that means several kids are home alone either because they are too old for childcare, or their guardians cannot afford it. Several churches in the area are putting on Summer Fun Days for Chevy Chase different weeks of the summer, and this is our week to love them well! Let's show up big for those kids and create an amazing environment for them every day!

Bring your items to the church Monday - Thursday 9:00am - 4:00pm, or every Sunday in July! See the list below to see what items they are requesting we bring!
(Pop top, microwaveable can 7.5oz) We try to stick to the name brand of this.
Doesn't have to be Jif. Store brands are ok too. We try to use the regular size jars, not the larger ones.
Need plastic, squeezable jelly. No glass jars. Store brands are ok.
- Small cans of vegetables (8-9 oz)
Pop tops are preferred, but they can be hard to find, so it's ok if they don't have them. We typically stick to carrots, corn, green beans or peas. (No creamed corn please.) Store brands are ok too.
