Current Opportunities:
SEPTEMBER FISH APPEAL
Bless Our Schools
This September, our Fish Fund will support Bless Our Schools, a ministry that comes alongside local teachers and students by providing much-needed classroom supplies, encouragement, and practical care. At Church of the Servant, we believe teachers make a lasting difference in the lives of children every day. Through Bless Our Schools, we have the opportunity to show our appreciation and help equip classrooms with items that may otherwise come from a teacher’s own pocket. All gifts placed in the fish baskets or designated “Fish” or “Bless Our Schools” during the month of September will support this meaningful ministry. Every gift—large or small—helps bless local schools and reminds teachers and students that their community is cheering them on. Thank you for your generosity and for helping us share God’s love in our local schools. GIVE HERE
NATIONAL DIAPER NEED AWARENESS WEEK
September 14–20
One in two families with young children struggles to afford enough diapers to keep their babies clean, dry, and healthy—and programs like SNAP and WIC don't cover diapers or wipes. Church of the Servant is joining Infant Crisis Services to help wipe out diaper need in our community! Please bring diapers—especially sizes 4–6—baby wipes, or diaper-rash cream and place your donations in the Infant Crisis Services crib located in the Church Concourse. Every package makes a difference for an Oklahoma baby or toddler. Opened packages of diapers are welcome, too!
