Description
Back to School Launch seeks to build deeper relationships with families at The Woods of
Castleton in order to launch the next steps to starting a church at The Woods. A holistic vision
will be cast to E91 in order to bring together the entire church to catch the vision for being a
church that cares for her neighbors. Hopefully families will come out of this process and want
to help Dave and Julio continue to pour into people in the neighborhoods. Starting this church
will primarily happen through praying over and for the students and their families. God will
have to move in people’s hearts to become part of His kingdom. The material instrument for
showing God’s love and E91’s heart will be providing backpacks with school supplies to the
children, not because they are all in financial need but as a gift from us to them because we
care.
Teams
I. Equipping Team
Description: This team will set up a table in the narthex where the backpacks will
be picked up. Justin Dewell and Julio Cruz will prepare the backpacks for pickup
ahead of time and bring them to the table. There will be a check in list for
families to fill out when they pick up a backpack so we can keep connected to
who has one and if the backpack is ready. The backpack will have a name card,
school supplies list, prayer list and Bible. Each family will be asked to bring the
backpack with them to The Woods on July 27th
.
