WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE FOOD?
DO YOU SOMETIMES GET HUNGRY?
WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU GET HUNGRY AND WANT SOMETHING TO EAT?
WHAT DO YOU THINK WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU DIDN’T HAVE ANY FOOD AT ALL IN YOUR HOUSE?
JESUS TOLD A STORY ABOUT A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE WHO GOT HUNGRY. THEY WERE MEN AND WOMEN AND CHILDREN WHO WENT TO HEAR JESUS TALK AND THEY STAYED AND STAYED AND STAYED SO LONG IT BEGAN TO GET LATE AND EVERYONE WAS HUNGRY. JESUS ASKED HIS DISCIPLES TO FEED EVERYONE, BUT THEY DID NOT KNOW HOW TO DO IT. THEN ANDREW, ONE OF THE DISCIPLES, FOUND A LITTLE BOY WO HAD 5 LOAVES OF BREAD AND 2 FISH. THIS BOY WANTED TO GIVE HIS BREAD AND FISH TO JESUS. JESUS TOOK WHAT THE LITTLE BOY OFFERED AND SAID A BLESSING ON THEM.
THEN THE DISCILES WENT THROUGH THE CROWD GIVING OUT THE BREAD AND FISH, AND YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED?
EVERYBODY HAD ENOUGH TO EAT WITH EVEN SOME LEFT OVER. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY WERE FED? OVER 5,000 HAD SOMETHING TO EAT BECAUSE THIS LITTLE BOY SHARED HIS FOOD.
TODAY, THERE ARE MORE THAN 5,OOO PEOPLE IN THE USA WHO ARE HUNGRY.
THERE ARE OVER 280 FAMILIES RIGHT HERE IN THE CORRYTON AREA WHO DON’T HAVE ENOUGH FOOD TO FEED THEIR FAMILIES.
THESE ARE GOOD FOLKS WHO HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THE ECONOMY; HOURS CUT BACK, ONE MEMBER LOST THIR JOB, BOTH MEMBERS LOST THEIR JOB, DEATH IN THE FAMILY, SOME SORT OF DISASTER.
ON JUNE 2, 3, 4, CCUMC WILL BE AT THE IGA STORE COLLECTING FOOD FOR THE CORRYTON HOSPITALITY PANTRY IN OUR “FILL UP THE PICK UP”. THIS IS THEIR LARGEST SUPPLY OF FOOD OFFERED DURING THE YEAR. BUT WE NEED HELP TO ACCOMPLISH THIS PROJECT. WE STILL HAVE SOME OPENINGS TO FOR FOLKS TO MAN THE IGA. THREE HOURS, THAT’S ALL WE ARE ASKING, IS NOT A LOT OF TIME TO DEVOTE TO HELPING THE NEEDY.
THE BIBLE SAYS WE ARE TO “OPEN OUR HANDS TO THE NEEDY”.
IF YOU ARE OUT AND ABOUT THIS WEEKEND, STOP BY THE IGA, HARBISON CROSS ROADS, HELP US FILL UP THE PICKUP.
