Introducing Operation Fresh Start

We are thrilled to share with you the launch of Operation Fresh Start, in partnership with our friends at Love Chatham. Love Chatham is an incredible organization working hard to provide support, shelter, and empowerment to those in need in our community.

Recently, Love Chatham has acquired a new home that will serve as transitional housing for those who require additional assistance in achieving a more permanent housing solution. In addition, many persons in poverty are forced to choose between buying food and purchasing basic hygiene items for their families.

We are committed to ensuring that both the residents and others served by Love Chatham have access to these vital hygiene items. That’s why Operation Fresh Start will make a real and tangible impact in the lives of our friends working with Love Chatham.

Beginning Sunday, June 4, we invite you to bring a different hygiene item to worship every week that will go to our friends at Love Chatham. This is a great way to add a little love to your week — and perfect for getting kids involved, too.

With your help, we can ensure that everyone has the essential hygiene items they need to achieve a fresh start in every kind of way.

Check out the full schedule below, and look for the giant inflatable rubber duck on Sunday mornings!
