Our youth group will be participating in the 30-hour famine on April 25-26, 2014. This year's theme is RELEASE THE FEAST! Here is a brief snippet from the leader's manual that puts into words why we do this each year better than I ever could:
Did you know hunger is also a justice issue? That's because kingdom justice involves the whole person and their relationship to God, other people, and their own body- and going hungry when there's enough food in the world falls into the "that's just not right" category.
Visit 30hourfamine.org for more information! And here are a few pictures of the last couple of years.
Our Break-the-Fast 2013. We raised $1,100, which is enough to feed a child living in poverty for more than 2 years. Our goal this year is $1,300.
Our First Fast in 2012. We had 14 students and 3 adults participate.
