This has been a jam packed week starting with special guests in worship last week with Major Darren Norton and Anthony from Modesto Corps. Then the week consisted of Grocery Outlet donation pick up, Smart and Final pick up, Safeway pick up, Protecting the Mission training, weekly brass and Bible study, To-Go-Tuesday meal pick up, Thursday pantry, young adult volleyball, Second Saturday Sons breakfast, Second Saturday Sisters Fellowship, volunteering at the Art & Wine Festival, and Gabriel's 1st Bday and setting up for Rally Day Potluck.

It sounds like a lot of activity, effort, and time, and it is. We know that many of the congregation come to church to serve each week. It can be taxing and sometimes discouraging. But, moments like the one captured above with Brooklyn and Fallon remind us that it's worth it. With each interaction, we pray that we are all being encouraged toward serving God and each other.

24 Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. Hebrews 10:24

Major Shoshannah

**Note - We are updating our volunteer files. We'll be asking current and new volunteers to complete the volunteer packet. We will also be giving you instructions on how to get additional fingerprinting (now required by law) for those who work with youth. You will not need to pay for anything. We will guide you on how to get this done.**
