BACK-TO-SCHOOL BACK-PACK DRIVE FOR AMIGOS Consider providing a back-pack full of school supplies for a child in need. In a few weeks the sales will start for Back to School. Many of our neighbors in Huntersville have difficulty providing their children with the proper tools to help them succeed in school. Please consider buying a school backpack and filling it for a child. Choose a boy or girl, grades Kindergarten-5th grade, or you may make a donation and we will do the shopping for you. You may also write a note of encouragement to include in the backpack. Backpacks are due Sunday August 16 and will be dedicated during our 11 a.m. worship service. They will be given to families at the Amigos Back to School event on August 17. Questions, please call or email Robert Alexander ([email protected]) or Rosemary Klein ([email protected]). Thank you for your help!

Davidson College Presbyterian Church is an Earth Care and Stephen Ministry
congregation on the corner of campus and community.
This congregation celebrates partnerships in Christ with the Sigona Presbyterian
Church in Kikuyu, Kenya, and the Kilambe communities in Jinotega, Nicaragua and
Blythe Elementary School in Huntersville, NC. Together we seek to grow in
witnessing to Christ in a complex world and to learn more about how to respond
as disciples to the great needs of the world.

From June 28 until August 16 we break so families can worship together during the summer. On August 23 we come together for RALLY DAY and the start of another great year of Faith Formation and Christian Education. Watch for special activities for all members of the congregation this summer as we travel and enjoy vacation. We will continue to nurture faith wherever we are.
