Feeding the Orphan

We partnered with Rice Bowls and gave out around 60 bowls that night, which are simple piggy banks in the shape of a small bowl of rice.

"When filled with change, the funds from Rice Bowls supply much needed food to a strong network of loving, Christian Orphanages. As a faith-based non-profit, we work directly with these orphanages, which are currently in India, Haiti, and Sub-Saharan Africa, where the HIV/AIDS crisis, as well as other factors, have greatly marginalized the lives of children." -www.ricebowls.org

We collected the bowls on December 1st and raised $342.44!!!!

This Tuesday evening! Worship for Orphans!!!!!

We are all so excited for our event this coming Tuesday evening, Worship for Orphans. Our vision/goal/purpose for the evening is twofold: 1.) to raise awareness of the orphan crisis in our world, and 2.) help equip families to know how they can take action.

There will be an opportunity that night to give money to a couple organizations that directly support and care for orphans but collecting money is not the purpose of the event, nor the focus. We know that God deeply cares for each and every child who is an orphan and he has told us to care for them. Isaiah 1:17 "Defend the cause of the fatherless." So, on this night as the Body of Christ comes together to worship Him in song, we also want to worship Him by asking how He wants each of us to follow Him in this area.
