Tribute to Jim Blood Drive. The Carter BloodCare bus with be at Abiding Grace on Sunday, July 17, from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. as we honor the memory of Jim Fawks with a blood drive. Jim spoke passionately of the life-giving gift of the donation of blood. He reminded us that one pint of blood can save three lives, and that one of the lives saved had been his own. Reserve your donation slot by signing up at church or online. The blood drive will be part of our "Christmas in July" celebration on July 17.
