Haven of Rest Ministries

Haven of Rest Ministries

Haven of Rest is in need of clothing. We usually have more than enough. But our Clothing Distribution department told me they are in need of: shirts, pants, shoes, belts, underwear of all sizes, socks of all sizes... especially for men.

If you have any extras you no longer wear, feel free to bring them to the drop off center across the street (N.  Prospect) in Akron

Youth Alpha

Youth Alpha

Starting next Wednesday, September 24, we will be running the Alpha Youth Series during youth group on Wednesday evenings.

Alpha Youth creates space for young people to explore their questions about life, faith, and purpose together. This is a great time and place for students to invite their friends who are currently far from Jesus. Please encourage your student to be prayerfully considering who God wants them to invite!

We will start each Alpha Wednesday with dinner in the youth center at 6:30. After dinner, we will move into the Alpha material, which will include conversation moments where students will have an opportunity to share their thoughts about different issues.

Partnering in God’s Mission

Partnering in God’s Mission

We are excited to share that Living Vine Community Church has entered into a partnership with two International Worker families serving in Berlin, Germany. Inspired by Acts 1:8, this partnership invites us to be part of God’s work locally and globally, sharing in the mission of advancing His Kingdom both in Berlin and right here in Stow, Ohio.

Because of the sensitive nature of their ministry, we cannot share their names in our newsletter. Even so, our partnership with them will be personal and meaningful, rooted in prayer, encouragement, and ongoing connection. They will keep us updated on their work, share prayer needs, and visit us during home assignments to strengthen our relationship. In turn, we will walk alongside them through prayer, financial support, short-term mission opportunities, and creative ways for every member of our church family to be involved.

A special part of this partnership is supporting their work financially. All contributions will be coordinated through Living Vine to ensure these families are cared for faithfully and effectively. More information will be shared soon about how you can take part in this exciting partnership.

Together, we are joining in the ongoing story of God’s Kingdom. The book of Acts is unfinished, and we believe it is intentional. Its next chapters are being written through our prayers, our partnership, and our faithful participation in the work God is doing in the world.

Missions Emphasis Weekend

Missions Emphasis Weekend

On November 1 and 2, we are excited to welcome Todd and Terri Althaus back to Living Vine. Before serving overseas as C&MA International Workers, Todd was our youth pastor many years ago. As they step into retirement, they want to celebrate with us all that the Lord has done through their ministry, which has been part of God’s larger work of bringing all of Jesus for all the world.


Their visit will be a chance to hear stories from their mission work, see the impact of faithful service, and celebrate how God is at work around the globe. Plans include a dinner on Saturday and an opportunity to hear from them during our Sunday morning service, both in the main service and with the children. More details will be shared soon, but for now please mark your calendars so you can join us in celebrating God’s global mission.
