News for the Week of August 7, 2025
A Note From Angela
I am beta-testing this newsletter feature for a few weeks — just to get all of the kinks out before we make the big transition. Thanks for your patience as we make these changes. I think the end result will serve our whole congregation better. In the meantime, thanks for being our guinea pigs!
Cheers!
Angela
A Thank YOU Note
The LCHope community donated 322 lbs of school supplies to APC! This is the most that we have ever donated at one time! A Precious Child hopes to give out 11,500 filled Backpacks this fall, and LCHope helped!
