Calling all youth! 🍦 I'll be hanging out at Amy's between 6 and 7:30PM, and I'd love for you to stop by! As a special treat, I'll be giving out a small ice cream of your choice - pick your favorite flavor! 🍦 You can stay for the whole time to chat and catch up with friends, or drop by whenever you can and hang out for a bit. We can talk about your week, share some laughs, and just enjoy each other's company. It's a super relaxed vibe, so feel free to come and go as you please. See you there! 😊

⚠️ IMPORTANT WORSHIP UPDATE — SUNDAY, AUGUST 30
Due to storm damage and a power outage at Laurel Heights, we will have ONE worship service tomorrow at 9:30 a.m. in the Sanctuary.
The service will be shortened, and afterward we will transition into a service day helping clean up around the church property and offering help to our neighbors who have trees/limbs down.
A few things to know:
• The church is currently without power and air conditioning. Please dress comfortably for the heat.
• If you plan to stay and help, bring work gloves, tools, trash bags, push brooms, or other cleanup supplies if you have them.
• The elevator will most likely not be operating.
• Our Fifth Sunday Potluck will be rescheduled.( HOWEVER, if you would like to bring cookies etc. for those who are willing to help stay and serve, that would be great!)
• Sandwiches trays, chips, and water will be available for those participating in the workday.
Please help us spread the word, especially to those who may be without power and unable to receive emails or see our virtual updates.
We’ll gather tomorrow ready to worship and serve. ❤️

Volunteers from the LH Youth Group go to CAM every month. Our next date is Sept 19th! Make plans to join us. For more info contact Katie Myers

At CAM, there are no appointments—people simply walk through our doors with urgent needs, hoping someone will help. Sometimes the solution is simple. Other times, it takes weeks or even months to help someone overcome the barriers, keeping them from moving forward. One week awhile back, as heavy rains and flooding swept through our community, our staff worked through difficult conditions to continue serving clients. With roads becoming dangerous, we decided to close just one hour early so our team could get home safely. Just as we were preparing to lock the doors, a young woman rushed in, visibly upset. She needed help obtaining an ID—a process that is often one of the most difficult services we provide; we call this service ID recovery.

It would have been understandable to ask her to return the next day. Instead, our team stopped and listened. We learned she already had her DPS appointment scheduled for the following morning (that in itself is tremendous as it can take months to get an appointment) and had almost everything she needed. She was only missing one document and needed help paying for her ID. Janet, one of our team members, helped the client to realize she likely had that document in an email on her phone, as a receipt from the Social Security office and patiently searched with her.

However, the young woman was so overwhelmed she couldn't find the receipt she needed on her phone, and everyone felt rushed. Janet simply said, "Let's pray together." After they prayed, and calmed down, they searched again—and found the document. CAM copied the receipt, provided the check for her ID, and sent her on her way. As she reached the door, she turned around with a huge smile and said, "Thank you! Because of your help, I can accept the job I've been offered. I just needed my ID." Then she joyfully shouted, "I'm getting a job!"

That's what CAM does every day. We don't just solve problems—we remove barriers, restore hope, and help people take the next step toward a brighter future. Sometimes all it takes is one conversation, one act of compassion, and one team member that chooses to stay a little longer.
