Current Opportunities:

JULY FISH APPEAL
Project Transformation
This month, our Fish Fund supports Project Transformation, a United Methodist ministry that helps children improve their reading skills while building confidence and lasting relationships with caring adults. Church of the Servant has been actively involved this summer with 18 volunteers serving as reading partners at Chapel Hill United Methodist Church. Our congregation has also provided dinner for the college-age interns leading the camp and donated 200 snacks for the children attending each day.

Every gift to the July Fish Fund helps support ministries that provide literacy programming, educational enrichment, meals, and encouragement for children in our community. If you would like to see Project Transformation in action, Pat McGarrity will lead a brief tour of the Chapel Hill site on Tuesday, July 14, at 10:30 AM. Meet at the east entrance of Chapel Hill UMC (2717 W. Hefner Rd.). To learn more, contact Pat McGarrity at (405) 990-2265. Thank you for helping children discover the confidence that comes one page, one book, and one caring volunteer at a time. For more information, go HERE.

BLESS OUR SCHOOLS! BLESS A TEACHER!
Pick up boxes - July 19 & 26 | Return by August 2
As the new school year approaches, Church of the Servant is excited to bring back the Bless Our Schools Teacher Supply Boxes. This is a simple and meaningful way to support local teachers as they prepare their classrooms and welcome students for a new year of learning. This year, we are partnering with Spring Creek Elementary School. Stop by the table at church on Sunday, July 19 or Sunday, July 26 to pick up an empty supply box and a list of requested classroom items. Please fill your box with supplies and return it to church by Sunday, August 2. Together, we can help equip teachers, encourage students, and show our community that Church of the  Servant is praying for a wonderful school year. Thank you for helping us bless our schools and bless a teacher!

MISSION AND MINISTRY FAIR

Our concourse will be lined with booths representing the many Mission and Ministries carried out by your church. As you visit each booth, you will have the opportunity to learn about what that mission and ministry does, get information, and find out about how you can become more involved. Whether you are new to our family of faith or have been part of Church of the Servant for decades, this will be a Sunday you will not want to miss as you get to witness firsthand the breadth and width of what God is doing in this place and discern just where God is calling you to be a part of it.

To the leaders of our various Mission and Ministries, we obviously want you to participate! From Sunday School Classes and Bible Studies, to ongoing missions, to various service teams, we need to hear from you.
