Register here.

The event is scheduled for Saturday, August 27th. There are two ways we can help out:

a) Volunteer: The event will be between 4 PM – 7 PM at the Eutaw Marshburn Elementary School in Baltimore. Volunteers would serve in coordinating food, music, games, and other activities. If you are interested in volunteering, please email the church office to let us know and we can follow up with more information.
