This weekend launches Project G6:2, a Gumptious Works initiative helping neighbors carry unexpected burdens through practical assistance and Christian hospitality. Funds raised, after event expenses, will support the program’s assistance for Kaydon and his family.

“Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.”

Come hungry. Come ready to worship. Come ready to make a difference.

Together, we can remind Kaydon and Gina that they’re surrounded by a community that cares.
