GETTING READY!
Food & diaper drive
On Sunday, July 26, at our Faith & Family Community event, we hope to bless the families that come with radical generosity!  For several weeks leading up to MTOC, we will be accumulating a significant amount of food, toiletry items and diapers.  We’ll be accepting your donations in the West Gathering area (lobby) on Sundays, June 14-July 19. Go HERE for a detailed list of the most needed items.

Do you want to be Baptized?
Baptisms are happening at Faith & Family Night (see above). Baptism is an important step of obedience in the life of a Christian—an outward expression of your commitment to follow Jesus. Being baptized at Faith & Family Night is also a powerful opportunity to share your faith and be a testimony to our community! If you’re ready to take this step, talk with Pastor Tim or another Hometown pastor you know, then sign up HERE.
