But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 1 Peter 2:9 |

PRAISE POINTS
We just expanded our partnership with Church at the Park through their Safe Parking Program. We are thanking God for the way he has filled the empty offices we had in our building and the empty parking spaces. This week marks the first week as a day center for people who are living in their cars and it has been very encouraging. See pics of the Friday gathering. We are grateful for the ways God has been moving in the hearts of the church to support the families in our neighborhood. We have had several people give generously to provide food, volunteer, and advocate in their place of work. See picture of Logan who collected food from his employment at Best Buy for the food pantry we provide twice a month.

PRAYER POINTS
Pray that the transition to expanding our partnership with Church at the Park goes smoothly and we are able to grow in our faith through this partnership.
Pray for the neighbors we serve through the food pantry. We want them to feel safe here and to be able to make deep connections over the long term.
Please pray for those in our church experiencing severe health challenges. A few people are going through radiation, chemo, and unique medical procedures.
