Sowing Seeds of Hope will be hosting a Back to School Pary for the Children of Perry County on Saturday, January 31st in the town square of Marion.  The best part of the event is the handing out of school supplies and back packs to all of the children whose families would struggle to provide these basic needs for them.  Alabama CBF is excited to partner with Sowing Seeds of Hope, our poverty initiative in Perry County, in providing school supplies for these children.  In these last few weeks before school starts, we are hoping for more churches to provide school supplies.

In addition, churches are invited to attend the Back to School Party on Saturday, January 31st at 5pm and provide a game or snack.  If you have a group at your church who would be willing to participate, please contact Terri Byrd for more information.  We also continue to collect school supplies for students in Albertville, Alabama whose familes lost their homes in tornadoes this spring.  Alabama CBF will be delivering school supplies to Perry County on July 30th and to Albertville the first week of August.

Women in Ministry lunches will be held around the state the last week of July and the first week of August.  All women in ministry are invited to get out of the office and attend a lunch closest to them.  Lunches will be held in the following cities and locations:
