We began with an Ethiopian supper cooked in our kitchen at church and followed up with a day of music and art and movement and writing all around the theme of Everyone's In! A fabulous children and youth arts camp this year! Heartfelt thanks to all who helped make this come together!

Just a little summer reminder of way back in the spring, when together we planted seeds during our worship service. Just look at what that little act of faith has become! In the little garden out front of church, the bees are happy!

Are you ready to vote in November?

New Hampshire bars the use of student IDs for voting, so if you're a University of New Hampshire student, you'll need to obtain a state-issued voter ID before Election Day if you don't have another acceptable form of identification.

You can obtain a voucher for a free voter ID and registration from the NH DMV with valid proof of residence, and you can also access
the vital records needed for proof of identity for free—but these things take time, so start the process now!

It’s hard to believe we’re already more than halfway through the summer! It’s even harder to believe that so far, we have distributed over 2,500 food bags into the Dover community, and we’re not done yet! This is a costly endeavor that couldn’t be done without the support of so many generous people. Please consider donating to help us continue in our mission of not letting one child go to bed hungry tonight!
