In today&#8217;s world, it is crucial for us to remember that, sometimes, we are the only Christ that people may ever know; so, we must remain vigilant about sharing God&#8217;s love with everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This Sunday (8\/10), we&#8217;ll look at what it means and what it takes to live for a heavenly country. We will also offer blessings to all students, faculty, and staff who are returning to school this month. Join us at 10:00am for Holy Eucharist, followed by coffee hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Humanitarian Support for Gaza<br>Bishop Poulson has solicited our donations for our siblings in Christ in Gaza. He has a colleague who will soon be visiting the region and hopes to give a monetary gift to three bishops there who are working with those of all faiths who are suffering from the unrest in the region. As such, all undesignated donations placed in the offering plate this Sunday will be added to this special fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Big Tent Day at RSU<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plan to join us on Wednesday, August 20, from 9:30-2:00 for the annual Big Tent Day on the Rogers State University campus.
