Serve NOW .. Current Needs

Up and Running Again Coaches needed

Up and Running Again is a non-profit that helps those on the margins accomplish the goal of running a half marathon and empowering them to use those same disciplines to better their lives. They currently need coaches who will practice at least twice a week and run alongside the group. They could also use volunteers, new or lightly used running clothes and shoes, or donations online. Visit www.upandrunningagain.org for more info. If you would like to coach, volunteer or have questions, contact Katie Sikkelee at 657.333.5184 or katie@upandrunningagain.org.

At the Throne . . . Praying for Kids

NOW. Life can be tough for kids these days. They live in a culture that often challenges their faith on a regular basis through media and relationships. Many find themselves in situations that are physically, emotionally or spiritually unsafe. For these reasons, we are starting a new prayer ministry to help children, youth and their parents better cope in these uncertain times. If you'd like to be part of a once-a-month team that prays over the lives of students, please visit the AT THE THRONE table on the plaza this Sunday or check the website for more information. At the Throne meets Wednesday nights in NC180.

Food Fund

NOW. Our Food Fund is in need of canned soup and vegetables, beef stew, chili, baked beans, canned fruit, tuna, jelly, mac and cheese, pasta and spaghetti sauce. Donations can be placed in the large gray bins located throughout the campus on Sundays.
