Saturday was delivery day for our Feed 500 project. Families came to the church, received a few simple instructions, loaded up their food baskets and headed out to deliver them to families in need this Christmas. Here are some pics of this really exciting day!
Kids helped restock the tables as people loaded their food basket.
Each family received a jar of peanut butter that the elementaryboys collected.

515 families received food baskets through our church-wide Feed 500 project!
We want to thank all those who helped make Feed 500 a success. A special thanks to the preschoolers for bringing lots of hot cocoa and to the elementary kids for bringing in peanut butter and jelly!
A Note from Jessica:
My mom and I delivered food baskets to 9 families on Saturday. Being able to meet some of the families who received the food baskets was an honor and a pleasure. We delivered to some families who had very little in material items, and other families who are simply having a difficult time right now. But all the families were grateful for this blessing and it was such an honor to be able to bring them food and a word of encouragement. Itis a gift to be able to serve Jesusin this way. Please continue to pray for all the families in our community who need to know God’s love for them this Christmas.
This Sunday our elementary kids came from behind with the boys bringing in 281 jars of peanut butter and the girls bringing in 240 jars of jelly.Because neither group made their goal of 500 jars, we will not be having a party on December 12th. HOWEVER, we are very proud of the big effort our kids made. Because the boys were the leaders in the challenge, we will have a special treat for them in Powerhouse next Sunday December 14th!
Great job to everyone! If you still would like to bring in jars of peanut butter or grapejelly, feel free to bring them to the church office by Wednesday December 10th!
Our preschoolersbrought in a whopping 344 boxes or hot cocoa mix! We will still accept boxes through Wednesday, December 10th! Please bring them to the church office to put on the special cart!
PROJECT COCOA FOR KIDS! 18 more boxes of hot cocoa have arrived this week which puts our total at 105! Still a long way to go, but I’m encouraged to see it growing during the week! Don’t forget your boxes on Sunday! We still need 395!
PB & J Challenge:4 jars of Peanut Butter and4 jars of grape jelly arrived this week! That takes our total to boys (PB) 96 and girls (J) 89. Keep up the good work!
Feel free to bring your grocery items by during the week to the office andwe’ll make sure they get added to the pile! If you are coming for family fun night, you can bring in items then too!
The preschool age kids are collecting hot cocoa mix. We need 500 boxes and today we started with 31 boxes of hot cocoa mix! We have a way to go but I know we can do it!
The elementary kids have a boys vs. girls competition. The boys are bringing in peanut butter and the girls are bringing in grape jelly! The count so far is Peanut Butter 50, Jelly 44! So the boys are in the lead! Good job boys! But both teams are shooting for the goal of 500 jars! So everyone, keep collecting.
We’ve got lots of great idea on the kids Feed 500 page and a special message for yuor family to view.
We will be collecting these items during the next 2 Sundays, November 30th and December 7th!
