Support the CAPS Night Stay Program
The Coalition Against Poverty in Suffolk is organizing the Night Stay Program this winter - mobilizing several local churches to open their doors for people who are in crisis, whether facing eviction or homelessness.  We have an opportunity to support the churches that are hosting (volunteering, preparing food, etc.).  If you’d like to help, please contact the organizer for the week that you are available:

 

National Sanctity of Human Life Day
January 23 is National Sanctity of Human Life Day!  On that day, will begin a Baby Bottle Campaign to support the Crisis Pregnancy Center.  CPC strives to save lives, spare hearts, and share the gospel of Jesus Christ.  If you'd like to participate, you can:

  • Take a bottle home for a month and fill it with donations.
  • Use the bottle as a reminder to pray for the CPC, and unborn children, and expectant mothers.
  • Return the bottle February 27th.

 

Ladies Fellowship Dinner

Women of James River!  Come join us for a time of fellowship, dinner, and conversation.  Feel free to bring food (you can sign up here), but it's not required.  Please save this date on your calendar!  We want you there!  Contact Gina McKeehan or Brittany Page with any questions.
