Rowan One Church One Child

Camp Discovery Christmas
Church members have taken on the task of shopping for gifts to be delivered to the Department of Social Services. These gifts will be shared with children in our community currently in foster care. Thank you to Laura Collins for organizing this opportunity to share Christmas joy!
Shoppers are needed to help us buy/collect gifts for this year's Camp Discovery campers and their siblings. We're so excited to extend our connections with this year's group of kids, and continue summer ministry all year round!
