SUMMARY:Messy Church - This Zoo Is Not For You!
DESCRIPTION:This session is based on the children’s book “This Zoo is Not for You” by Ross Collins. In the book\, a platypus goes to a zoo on the day when the animals are holding “interviews” for new additions. At every stop\, the platypus is dismissed as not being worthy of inclusion for some reason. But at the end of the day\, all the animals have a chance to reflect on their behavior and begin to regret turning the platypus away. As they reach back out to him they make a shocking discovery! \nThe session connects with Ephesians 4:1-6 and how we all belong to God. \n“Where people of all ages come together to share in music\, storytelling\, creative crafts\, and a delicious dinner.”

SUMMARY:Soup-er Sunday Speaker Series - House N2 Home
DESCRIPTION:Creating Homes Where Hope Grows \nWhat started in 2017 as a simple act of kindness—furnishing a home for a single mom and her children—has grown into a transformative community movement known as House N2 Home. Today\, this volunteer-driven nonprofit has fully furnished more than 1\,892 homes\, offering comfort and dignity to 3\,947 individuals\, including 1\,815 children and 240 veterans in our area. \nHouse N2 Home collects and donates everything from beds\, mattresses\, and couches to cleaning products\, kitchen essentials\, and wall art\, transforming empty apartments into warm\, welcoming homes for those transitioning out of homelessness and into stable housing. Their mission is simple yet profound: to create spaces where people can thrive. \nBehind this effort is a team of more than 200 dedicated volunteers\, working alongside over 50 local agencies to identify needs and deliver hope—one home at a time. \nYou’re invited to come and hear the powerful stories of this amazing organization and learn how lives are being changed—not just by furniture\, but by the love and community behind it. Whether you’re looking to volunteer\, donate\, or simply be inspired\, this is a story worth hearing. \nLet’s celebrate the work of House N2 Home and explore how we\, too\, can be part of creating homes where hope grows.  If you’re thinking about donating household items\, keep this organization at the top of your list. Click here for more information. \nPlease note: This special event will take place on Sunday\, March 29\, instead of April 5\, in order to accommodate Easter weekend. \nWe hope you’ll join us for this inspiring time of learning and connection!
