FULLERTON

With Newsong North Orange County: Fullerton ACT SOLFUL (Summer of Love Fullerton)
This summer YOU have the opportunity to BE the church to one of three neighborhoods in Fullerton where California budget cuts have forced the closure of summer school and given thousands of children nowhere to go. For 7 weeks we have the chance to seek the welfare of the city and it’s people by engaging the children of Fullerton through exciting and fun programs centered in Art, Sports and Education!
Find out more and sign up here: Fullerton ACT SOLFUL
