Throughout the month of January, we will be celebrating the Sanctity of Life by collecting diapers for First Choice Pregnancy

Medical Center. You are welcome to get diapers of any size and bring them to the missions area in Guest Services any time until January 28.

First Choice Pregnancy Medical Center is a place where women and/or couples can go to get free pregnancy tests and ultrasounds. While there, they are lovingly advised of their options regarding the alternatives to abortion, and, if the opportunity presents itself, they are told the gospel. This is a wonderful organization that we have supported for years.

On Mother's Day, May 12th, we will be asking each of you to give $1 or more to benefit the mothers at the Crisis Intervention Center. Our goal is to bless them with a special gift in honor of Mother's Day. You are welcome to give by bringing a dollar or more in cash and placing it in the baskets at the Do Something Stations at the entrances to the Worship Center, or you can give online at the link provided here (in the "specify funds" line, just type "mother's day"). About the Crisis Intervention Center... They have an emergency safe house that is available to individuals and families suffering from domestic abuse. It is private, secure, and has a staff member on-site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When someone comes to stay, they are provided with food, shelter, and support services to help in their transition, including safety planning, one-on-one case management services, legal advocacy, child care, and more.

Our church will be having a booth at the Steel Horse Rally. We are needing volunteers to help man the booth. We will have some different activities available, including a large photo backdrop and a carnival game. Please offer to help people take pictures. We are also needing volunteers to help with the cleanup after the event is over on Sunday morning. This will be done prior to church starting, so you can still make it to church on time.
