BACK TO SCHOOL SUPPLY DRIVE
With summer here, most children are excited to have finished up the school year. But at UMBC, we’re already thinking about the new school year! We anticipate that the 2024-25 school year will be challenging for families already living paycheck to paycheck, leaving little left for items like essential school supplies. Therefore, UMBC is having “A BACK TO SCHOOL SUPPLY DRIVE” through August 18th. A storage bin has been placed in the Lobby for you to place items in. Our Back-to-Supply give-away aims to relieve the financial burden for parents. (See enclosed flyer below).

CHILDRENS CHURCH – 3rd, 4th & 5th Sunday Each Month
Children are one of God’s greatest blessings. It’s Important to help them grow in faith. Therefore, we are thrilled to announce that our Children's Church is back! We cater to young minds to teach children important life lessons that will help them grow into healthy, responsible adults while teaching children about their Best Friend and Savior– Jesus! If you're a family with children ages 4 and up, this might be something you want to check out!
Thank you to our volunteers that make this possible. You are greatly appreciated and we want to acknowledge and encourage you that serving in this area releases parents to be able to focus on the service and enjoy time together - so thank you! Again, CHILDREN’S CHURCH will be held EACH 3rd, 4th, & 5th SUNDAY for AGES 4 AND UP.
