Celebrating the Moments that Shape Us: Senior Blessings & Choir Sending
Events During Worship
Canned Food Collection
May 3th is the first Sunday of the month. Bring your cans and other food items for collection by the children during worship service. Water is always needed. In addition to the canned goods, fresh food and pet food is also collected. Pets are an important part of families. Friendly reminder that Inland Valley Hope Partner does not accept clothing or shoes.
Date / Time: Sunday, May 3, 2026 | During Worship at 9:30 a.m.
Children’s “Noisy” Offering
On May 10th, the children of the church will be collecting their own offering. During the regular offering time, while the adult ushers are passing the plates, the children will come to you (like they do for the monthly food collection) to collect change in their metal cans.
While we expect the change to create some cheerful noise throughout the sanctuary, bills are also welcome!
Date / Time: Sunday, May 10th, 2026 | During Worship at 9:30 a.m.
Senior Blessings
Save the date! We will be honoring our graduating seniors on May 31st during worship. We look forward to celebrating this milestone together.
