Upcoming 2025 Events

February

Spring Blood Drive
February 1 - May 1
The church is hosting a virtual blood drive with the American Red Cross from Feb 1 to May 1. Check out the campaign or join by pledging to donate at this link, and then donating at your local blood donation center within the timeframe.
Reasons for donating blood can be deeply personal. Sam Watkins says. “Tobye, my wife had Crohn’s Disease, getting decidedly worse. She had routine blood work done at the lab and then we left to grocery shop. The phone rang & I was told to take her immediately to the ER; she was immediately taken back. I recognized the blood product and it stated, ‘Volunteer donor: American Red Cross.’ A volunteer donor saved Toybe’s life! Since then, I donate as soon as I’m eligible.” Contact Leisel for any questions at (912) 220-7830.
