It's time again to participate in a community effort to provide school supplies for low income families. You may place basic school supplies (paper, pens, pencils, binders, backpacks, etc.) in this box to help needy students. Another option is to contribute financially by placing a check to "Back to School Consortium" in our offering plate. Any donated amount will be appreciated. Monetary funds enable wholesale purchases for just the materials that are needed. Thank you! For more info, contact the Church Office
Gardening Opportunities We have a chance to serve in ministry by contributing our gardening skills and knowledge in several opportunites:
Youth Ministry News As we approach a new school year, we look forward to some changes in a new ministry year with our youth. We will be combining Junior High and Senior High groups (grades 7–12) in a new group called ALIVE (always living in view of eternity). This group will be led by our Youth Ministry Developer Nicole Moxon and Kim Clousing. ALIVE will start on September 13, and will usually meet on the first and third Wednesday of each month from 7:00–9:00 p.m. in the Multi-Purpose Room, unless noted otherwise. Please pray that God will help us reach the young people in our community so that they can learn to live in view of eternity with their Savior.
• Shoreline Christian School can use gardening help any day that is convenient for you. Email Paul Hopkins for more information at phopkins@shorelinechristian.org. • Briarcrest Elementary School needs help to spruce up the campus before school starts. We will be partnering with Hope Bible Fellowship Church on Saturday, August 26 from 9:00–11:30 a.m. Contact Greta Clousing or Vonnie Roosendaal for more information. • Shoreline CRC will soon hold another "work party" to help keep our church campus looking welcoming. If you are interested, contact Greta Clousing. Thank you for your service to the church and to our community!

Getting Connected We encourage you to get connected with a community group for fellowship and mutual support. It is far too easy to simply come to church on Sunday and then slip out. We want to get to know you better, so join us! If you would like more information about any group, please contact the Church Office.
Cadets (Boys grades 3-6) The goal of Cadeting is to help boys grow spiritually in all areas of life—devotional, mental, physical, and social. The Cadets are currently finishing summer break, and will resume on Wednesday, September 20. GEMS (Girls Everywhere Meeting the Savior), a club for girls in grades 3-6, meets during the school year on Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m. Our activities include Bible lessons, praise/ worship, badges, crafts and other fun things. The girls are enjoying the last of the summer break, and will meet again on Sept. 20. ALIVE Youth Group (JH and HS students) This year, we are combining our JH and HS students in a group called ALIVE (always living in view of eternity). We will kick off our year by meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 13. Thereafter, we will plan to meet in the MPR on the first and third Wednesdays of each month, unless noted otherwise. Pray for leaders Nicole Moxon and Kim Clousing as they plan for an exciting year of youth ministry. Couples' Club (for Couples of All Ages) This groups meets one Saturday evening per month from October through May. We are currently on summer break, but we look forward to seeing you in the Fall. If you would like to learn more about this group, you may contact the Church Office.
Grow Groups (Adults of all ages) Grow Group meets once a month in various homes every third Sunday from September through May. The year will kick off with a potluck lunch on Sunday, Sept. 17 at the Holly home. Formerly called the Grow Group, this group is changing its name to "Sunday PM Bible Study Group." We will utilize a book by Dale Larsen entitled, "Growing Older & Wiser." Hope to see you! Men’s Bible Study The Men’s Bible Study meets most Monday evenings at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Room. We continue to meet during the summer months, focusing now on the Book of Titus. Please join us! Women's Morning Bible Study We are restarting our Thursday morning Bible Study sessions on Sept. 14 at 9:30 a.m. in Rooms 201-202. We will be using the book, "Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World" by Joanna Weaver. This includes video introductions and lessons for this 12-week study. We invite women of all ages to join us! Women’s Evening Bible Study The Women's Monday Evening Bible Study has wrapped up the year of studying Colossians and Philemon. After a summer break, we will reconvene in September. We look forward to reconnecting then and starting up a new study!
Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near. Hebrews 10:24-25 (NLT)

Shoreline Christian Reformed Church is a gospel and grace-centered
community learning how to follow Jesus. We belong to a broader community called The Christian Reformed Church. What does this mean? We call ourselves… Christian… Because we belong to Jesus Christ and want to be his followers.
Reformed…
Church…
Because we’re part of the historic branch of the Christian church that follows the teachings of the leaders of the Protestant Reformation, who struggled to return Christianity to its biblical roots. Because God has called us to be a fellowship of his people in the world.
