Acts 5:1-11

Over the past few weeks in our study of the book of Acts, we’ve seen how the early church practiced radical generosity. This week brought two pressing areas of need to the forefront—one global and one local. This is a great opportunity for our church to follow the example set in Acts and respond with generosity.

Global Need:

Hurricane Melissa has caused devastating damage across the Caribbean, particularly in Jamaica, Cuba, and Haiti. Our partners at Send Relief are responding by providing power generators, meals, clothing, and temporary shelter. There is an urgent need for 1,000 water filters, and we can help meet that goal.

A gift of $25 to Send Relief supplies one water filter. Would you consider serving our global neighbors by helping provide clean water?

You can give here, just be sure Send Relief is selected in the dropdown.

Local Need:

Many of our neighbors will soon be impacted by the suspension of SNAP benefits. We’ve reached out to our partners at Storehouse Ministries, Dowell Elementary, and Cheatham Hill Elementary to identify how we can best serve. We’ll keep you updated as specific needs arise, but for now, Storehouse has a critical need for peanut butter.

We’re asking every family, college student, young adult, and senior adult to bring at least one jar of peanut butter this week to help meet that need.
