Children’s Church

Children are heading back to school, and Children’s Church will be gearing up for a New Year starting in September.  Please prayerfully consider helping with Children’s Church.  Teachers and assistants are needed for 9:45 and 11:15 services.  Teaching experience is not necessary, just a desire to teach children about the love of Jesus.  Schedules are flexible.  If you are interested in volunteering or have questions, please contact Allyson Ball, Director of Children’s Ministry, at allysson@imagstation.com or call 317-780-4624.

FOOD PANTRY COLLECTIONS

Dear servants...you are so awesome!  Again in September you raised the bar.  You donated a total of 406 pounds of food to Hunger INC Food Pantry located on Epler just west of Madison Ave.  This pantry services all of Perry Township residents and Beech Grove.   (At this rate we may need a van for delivery.)  We also had a late donation of buns totaling 19 more pounds.  Food can be taken anytime to the Pantry if you want to deliver on your own.  On one Thursday in August, the pantry passed out 1000 pounds of food to the 29 persons who were there the 3 hours the pantry was open.   Three of those 29 were homeless folks.  As you shop look for food cans with pop-top tabs for easy opening for those people without a home.  There are certain staples given out to everyone that are provided with the pantry money collected through Meijer's Simply Give donations each year. This includes saltines, canned tuna, stew, canned chicken...

A Letter from Pastor Mark June 2013

Dear Friends, As I am writing this letter, I am still reeling from the news of the terrible tragedy that continues to unfold in Oklahoma.  I am sure that all of you know that an F5 tornado devastated Moore, a suburb of Oklahoma City.  At the time of my writing this communication, we still do not have complete information on the total number of fatalities and injuries.  We do know that the damage can only be described as complete and total devastation.
