Kairos Prison Ministry Joins Life Bridge This Weekend!

"They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?' "He will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.'  (Matthew 25:44-45 NIV)

Bill Bennett, Kairos Prison Ministry, will be joining us this weekend for services.  He will be set up at the Ministry Counter.  Please welcome him, and learn what Kairos is doing to reach inmates for Christ!

Here are just a couple ways you can support Kairos' efforts:

• Sign up for a time slot in the prayer vigil for Westville Correctional Facility November 6-9th, 2014
• Bake cookies for the upcoming Westville Retreat (each weekend service to a prison requires 3500-5000 DOZEN cookies! Special recipe required.)
• And More!

Men's Shelter Wrap Up

Pizza Party!

We celebrated the final night with the men from the shelter in Life Bridge style... food!

It has been a great 6 months of hosting the Men's Shelter on Thursday nights.  The energy on Thursdays is awesome as the team and men from the shelter all hang out and visit while the Worship team practices.  These evenings will be a little less exciting these next 6 months.  The men will be missed!

500 Turkeys Update

500 Turkeys Food Drive
Valpo Town & Country
Saturday, October 18th 8am-8pm

If you have participated in Feed the Need, you have the picture of what this event is.  Volunteers will stand outside of  T&C, handing out flyers listing needed items, and invite shoppers to purchase 1 or more items on the list.  It is a lot of fun, a great way to connect with others in our community, and involve the whole family!

All 800 meals have been reserved.  A waiting list is now open.
