Gresham Go - To
Weekly Staying Connected While Apart
AUGUST 24 -30 (Updated 8/25)
Time is flying by so fast. Can you believe it's almost September? It has been five months since we started this new way of living with COVID-19. We've learned a lot and still have more to learn. We ask that you pray this week for continued guidance and patience on the Lord's leading. We especially ask that you pray this week for the church's budget and this next program and fiscal year. Included in this newsletter is information about School Supplies, a Back to School Survey, and women's events. Have a great week!
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
- Jeremiah 29:11
"The greatness of a man's power is the measure of his surrender."
- William Booth, Founder of The Salvation Army

Monday M-unch Praise
We had a great time at Monday M'unch today. We are thankful to Portland Moore Street Corps for providing the lunches. We are able to pass out 100 peanut butter and jelly sack lunches in our community. A special shout out to D'Deb, Chuck, and the teen youth group for passing out the lunches. An extra shout out to the youth who helped add scripture and an encouraging word to the bags. Please pray that those who received were blessed and felt loved. Each one was told 'God bless you'!
Next week, we plan to give away lunches to the families who are coming to pick up backpack supplies. So, Monday M'unch will be between 11 am - 1 pm. Come help if you can.
