Assembling Gifts

Playing Together!
Kids love that the adults play too!

These are always a lot of fun as volunteers participate by manning stations or by being in a group that goes through 4 different stations throughout the evening.  At the stations families get to create decorations for Distribution Days over snacks, have fun bonding over the game, "Do You Love Your Neighbor?", assemble gifts for the families at crafts, and finally box meals!  Thanks to everyone who participated!

500 Turkey's Prayer Vigil Begins Friday at 2pm! Sign Up Here!

Sign up Online for a Prayer Vigil time slot!

November 21st 2pm through

November 22nd 2pm

This weekend we will have members of 900 families come through Life Bridge.  They will receive meals, including Domino's gift certificates for free pizza, $5 gift cards for perishables, a gift to create long lasting family memories, and an opportunity to pick up needed clothes.

God has gone before us as He worked through our churches and our community to provide food, money, clothing, and volunteers.  Now begins the real work...  Our goal isn't to simply feed families for a day, it is to touch them with God's love and make a difference for eternity.  This work is done through prayer and love.

So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor. For we are co-workers in God's service;  (1 Corinthians 3:7-9a NIV)

We will serve side by side this weekend, creating a welcoming environment for our guests and meeting their needs.  In prayer, we will ask God to continue going before us and prepare their hearts to see His love through our actions.  We will pray that this meal and experience will be seeds that will continue to grow.

So please take a few minutes and sign up for a half hour time slot to pray. Materials will be provided to help guide your time and prayers.  The time can be spent anywhere that it is convenient for you to pray.

500 Turkeys Prayer Vigil

Sign up at the Ministry Counter for a time slot!

November 21st-November 22nd

Prayer is the most powerful tool we have in any ministry.  As we buy yams, we pray.  As we make cookies, we pray over them.  As we pack shoe boxes, we pray.  

Now as we prepare to bless 800 families and seemingly countless individuals with meals this Thanksgiving and clothing as we go into cold weather, we need to pray.  Our goal isn't to simply feed families for a day, it is to touch them with God's love and make a difference for eternity.  

So please take a few minutes and sign up for a half hour time slot to pray. Materials will be provided to help guide your time and prayers.  The time can be spent anywhere that it is convenient for you to pray.
