Mosaic Baby Bottle campaign – May 12-June 16
We’re partnering with Mosaic Virginia Pregnancy Resource Center to help provide care and encouragement to mothers in crisis. Mosaic supports women by meeting their material and emotional needs so they can focus on giving life to their unborn baby. Pick up a bottle at the table at the back of the sanctuary on Sunday to get started—and simply return filled bottles by June 9 or 16! Learn more here.

This is an opportunity that’s part of our Kingdom Calling focus, to be a part of the restoration Jesus is already starting to bring, here and now! Our local poverty relief parachurch ministry, Tree of Life Ministries, will host its bimonthly volunteer introduction program on Saturday, May 18 from 9-10:00am at the Tree of Life Center. Questions?
