Feed the Need 2010 Info

Pastor Ivanildo C. Trindade

Associate Pastor of Outreach Ministries

posted this as an fyi. An opportunity to start thinking of helping families at Easter time. 

 Did you know that Approximately 500,000 children in Ohio are currently hungry or at-risk of hunger?*

Did you know that hungry children a) Have more health problems; b) Exhibit more disruptive behavior; c) Are more likely to be tardy or absent from school; d) Score lower on achievement tests?*

While we cannot by ourselves solve that problem, we can't think of a worse time to go hungry than at Easter. So for several years now Wooster Grace has donated a box of food to under resourced families in our community.

This ministry accomplishes three things: 1) it gives our people an opportunity to step outside the comforts of our neighborhoods and into a segment of our city where people have needs we never thought possible; 2) it allows us to encourage an entire family during a special time of the year when they ought not to feel alone; 3) it gives us an opportunity to share the resurrection story with every family to whom we donate a Feed the Need box.

Soon you will receive information through our church's bulletin about Feed the Need 2010. I am giving you a personal invitation to participate by sponsoring a family this year.

Here are some important dates you need to keep in mind:

• Display tables will be available in the church from February 21 through March 14.
• Feed the Need delivery dates: March 27 and March 28.
• Deadline to sponsor a family: March 14

Please prayerfully consider this worthy ministry and may God bless you and prosper the work of your hands for His glory.
