Century Church To Provide Free School Supplies

August 10, 2009

School starts in just two weeks in Escambia County, and for some families it is financially difficult to purchase the necessary supplies.

A Century church will provide free school supplies on Friday to help those in need.

Abundant Life Assembly of God will distribute school supplies at no charge on Friday, August 14 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the church at 8040 North Century Boulevard.

Parents will need to bring their student’s list of necessary school supplies from their child’s school to the distribution.

    I am so proud to be apart of a church who reaches outside of their four walls to be the church Christ has called them to be. Not a church restricted to a building w/ a feel good message but activation with in the community. Thanks Ab.Life for such a fantastic way to reach the community.

    All I ask is that those who don’t honestly need the help, please stay home or come with extra school supplies to help out and those who need it, please come.

    That church is really great at assisting with the community. My kids go there every Wednesday night and the really enjoy the services. We have a church home, but they would go every Sunday as well if I let them. God bless you Abundant Life Family.

    Now this is a good works program I think people should respect, no matter what religion you believe in. It is a shame we have so many preachers who loose sight of community support, instead of getting on TV and telling people (especially the poor who are looking for some kind of support) God wants themselves to be rich and God will look after them and to send in their grocery money. When I first heard about Jan Crouch (yeah, I’m naming names)asking listeners to send in their grocery money I thought it was a joke until I saw the video clip of this pink wigged plastic surgery obsessed nut job actually doing it. One of my grandmothers always said she couldn’t stand TV preachers for all they did was beg for money, and I guess in a lot of instances she was right.
