Dear Church on the Street Family,
Students are off to school, temperatures are changing, leaves are falling, and the rain just keeps coming. Through it all, we trust that God is with us, bringing hope and new life.
This month has been full of records. We washed the most loads of laundry ever, fed the most people through the food pantry, and had three groups of students from different schools show up for their neighbors in one action-packed week.
Looking forward, we will celebrate 10 years of worshiping together on 10/10/2026. We will also host a showing of 24 Hours on 8th Street on October 8th at 7 pm at the MCC Coliseum.
Please join us! It's great to be church together!
Sent forth with the Spirit,
Pastor Chris & Deacon Mara

Please lift these prayer requests, given to us with the great trust and hope of a promise that God answers prayers.
