Local Outreach:  Bless a Business 2.0 - Thursday, July 15, 2021

As requested, Bless a Business is back!  Here are some new ideas how you can show care for our community by supporting local restaurants and businesses:

• Wear your Faith-branded gear when you go.
• Attend as a Life Group.  Life Groups have always had funds set aside for Local Outreach.  You can use some of these funds to attend as a Life Group event while blessing a business.
• Double up on the outreach.  Are there folks you’re reaching out to?  Take them out to lunch, and tell them why you’re going there!
• When you visit the business, leave a note with a nice tip to let the business know why you’re there and that Faith is supporting them. 

This week's business:
Jimmy Dean's
(22941 Lyons Ave, Newhall, CA  91321)
 
Stop by on Thursday, July 15th, between 7:00 a.m.–9:00 p.m.

Jimmy Dean's has been family-owned since 1968, and they've had to do a lot to stay in business during the pandemic (new website, increased social media presence, etc).  With the schools closed, their usual traffic has decreased drastically.  And if you’ve never had one of their breakfast burritos, you’re really missing out!

We would love to concentrate our support of this business on Thursday, July 15th, but if another day works better for you, no problem!  The main goal is to bless this business, and your support at any time will do just that.  

Join the Prayer Team!

One of the great privileges that believers have in Christ is praying for one another.  If you are a Member of Faith, please consider joining one of our Prayer Teams for the 2021-2022 ministry year.  E-mail Susie Townsend for more details.

Global Outreach (G.O.) Team Needs Your Help!

The G.O. Team at Faith is always looking for ways to increase interest and involvement in world missions.  Please take about 4 minutes to answer a few survey questions for us.  This will be a great help to us as we plan themes, events, and opportunities for the future.  You can click here to get started, or you can use the Church Center App and click on the "More" tab to find the G.O. Survey link.

Mercy Ministry Update from Brian Jones

We understand that some of you are still facing difficult times.  If you are facing a financial need but have been reluctant to ask for help because you think another needs it more, please reconsider.  Our Mercy Fund has Walmart gift cards, Target gift cards, and Arco fuel cards.  Financial assistance is also available to help with payments or bills.  We stand ready to serve and bless you with joy and discretion.  Please contact me, Brian Jones, at bri-jones@sbcglobal.net to learn more.

Do you need help with rent or utilities?  Financial assistance is available from the State of California for income eligible renters and their landlords who have been impacted by COVID-19 and have past due rent or utilities, or who need help with upcoming rent or utilities.  Both renters and landlords are encouraged to apply.  Click here to learn more. 

Giving Reminder

Thank you for continuing to give to the ministry here at Faith!  We have three convenient ways of receiving your support for the Lord's work.  One way is through online giving.  You can also deposit your giving on Sunday mornings in one of the locking offering boxes at the rear of the Sanctuary.  Lastly, you can mail your giving to the Church Office.
