ISI Friendship Partner Training
Thursdays, August 25 - September  15, 7-9 pm, Room A6
When new international students arrive in the US, they leave behind family, friends, and most everything familiar. We have the opportunity to fill some of those gaps and share the love of Christ with students. Our missions partner ISI will be leading a four-part training to equip you to be part of their Friendship Partner program and be matched with a student. For more information or to sign up, visit the ISI website.

The Great Giveaway, a ministry to internationals in the community, is coming up on Sunday, August 28.

Navigating Your Finances God’s Way
Begins Sunday, September 11, 7:00 pm, Room B2
We deal with money every single day, and the financial changes that we are living through create extra challenges in dealing with money. Join us for a six-week, Sunday evening class to hear what the Bible has to say about money, personal finances, debt, saving, investing, and generosity. Led by Pastor Ron May and Susie Lavender, this practical class is for any adult, single or married, young or old, in debt or debt-free. Cost is $10 for the workbook and you can register online through September 5.
