Last Saturday, August 6, marked the ninth year for the Back2School Event started by the Community Fellowship Church in Collinsville, but it marked the first year for five churches that joined in this year! Along with First Presbyterian, Martinsville, the First Baptist Church, Martinsville, Starling Ave. Baptist Church, Broad Street Christian Church and Calvary Christian Church came together as one body of Christ to serve about 120 students by washing their feet and providing brand new socks, shoes, haircuts, and backpacks full of supplies. It was a day of fun and fellowship but it was also a day that folks just checked their denomination at the door and came together to serve little ones. What a gift that was! All the volunteers unanimously agreed that we can not wait until next year to make it even bigger and better. What great new tradition to be started in our community and for years to come!
