Bishop

We are developing strategies to help achieve this goal. Our plan is to start small and work out the issues that arise before trying to get other churches involved. This is a way that we believe we could serve as a catalyst for change. We are imagining a day when we can say that thanks to these efforts there are no known hungry homebound elderly among us. An initial meal event has been planned. This kick-off event "Do Good Friday" will be on Good Friday, April 3, 2015. On this day plans have been made to deliver approximately 120 sack meals to the elderly that are served by the homebound division of our local Senior Center. (Good Friday is one of the days the Senior Center is closed and meals are not delivered.) The meals will be packaged and delivered by members from both congregations. Included in the lunch will be nonperishable items that can be prepared by the recipient and a copy of the Upper Room Devotional magazine. We are committed to following this initial venture with meals to the homebound on weekends, when the Senior Center is closed. We pray that we will be used by God to alleviate hunger in our Valley area. For we know that scripture tells us in Matthew 25:35 "For I was hungry, and you fed me."
