As we prepare for Fall Launch, we're inviting our entire church family to stay after service for lunch, community, and an opportunity to serve our local schools together.

Following the 11 am service, we'll share a meal and spend time connecting with one another while collecting items that will directly support students at Forest Dale Elementary and Clay Center Elementary as they prepare for the new school year.

Based on conversations with school leadership, we'll be collecting:

• New and gently used tennis shoes
• Individual snacks for students
• Feminine hygiene products

These simple items will make a tangible difference for students and families in our community.

We'll also use this day to highlight serving opportunities at CP Carmel as we head into Fall Launch, helping people take the next step from attending to actively building what God is doing in Carmel.
