KIDS UNDERWEAR NEEDED - Grace Kids Closet offers great clothing
in a friendly, encouraging atmosphere. In June alone, Grace Kids Closet was able to provide clothing for 36 children!
There’s only one problem: The supply of new underwear and socks is running low! Please consider buying a package
(or two!) of boys or girls underwear or socks the next time you shop. These can be dropped off at the Love INC office,
located at 804 N. Cape Rock Drive, on Monday, Wednesday or Thursday between 8:30 and 2:30. Note: boxers are now more
popular than briefs for boys over the age of 10, and kids of all ages prefer low-cut or no-show athletic socks.
Youth Ministries
SUNDAY SCHOOL NEWS FOR OUR CHILDREN -We offer classes for children ages 4-6, 7-9 and 10-12 in the Sunday school rooms on the
second floor (Library floor) at 9:30 a.m. Following Sunday School, children may join the congregation in the worship
service. All children are invited to sit in the front pew(s) when an adult is present to sit with them. This provides
such a good learning experience for them! We have Children's bulletins that are age appropriate. Younger children,
ages infant - 5 years, are invited to the nursery following the Kid's Message. Nursery personnel are present to
escort these children to the nursery if parents choose to remain uninterrupted in the service.
Sunday School every Sunday morning at 9:30 a.m.
