This summer, we are reminded that God calls us to pray and act.
Full Hearts, Full Bellies WorkShip
Sunday, July 14
What is a WorkShip?
In short, a WorkShip is a time when we BECOME the sermon during Sunday worship by engaging in an activity that serves our neighbors. We will still have communion, a few songs, and a brief sermon, but most of our time will be spent packing nutritious and appetizing shelf-stable lunches for underserved preschool aged children in our area.
Why are we Doing This?
During her needs assessment project, Vicar Amber learned that there are 10,830 food-insecure preschool-aged children in Montgomery County. That is a LOT of hungry kiddos, many of whom have fewer food resources when schools and programs go on summer break. We can help do something about it by providing shelf-stable lunches for Kid’s Meals Inc. to deliver to families in need.
What is our Call?
During our WorkShip, we are assembling the shelf-stable lunches to be delivered to children experiencing hunger in Montgomery County.
- Baseline Goal: 250 lunches
- Ambitious Goal: 375 lunches
- Shoot for the Moon Goal: 500 lunches
As we lead up to July 14, we are collecting the items we need for these lunches. There are two ways to contribute items to this drive:
- Go Shopping! And then drop your items off in the Worship Space on Sunday mornings. See the list below for needed items.
- Head to our Amazon Wish List, order items, and have them shipped directly to the church.
Up until July 14th, please bring your donations of the following or similar shelf-stable items to worship:
