Celebrating Feed the Need!

 God is awesome!!

Feed the Need remains the NWI Food Bank's largest single day food drive.  It shows what God can do when His body joins together and reaches into the community.

Here are the results for 2015:

• 5443 pounds of food
• $900 cash donations
• Approximately 10,000 meals
• 4 churches participating
• Approximately 150 positions were filled by volunteers
• 15 Volunteers worked at NWI Food Bank to sort, box, and store the donations for future distribution

Thanks to all who let God work through them through this event.  You were God's hands and feet as you served side by side, reached out into the community, and showed God's love by meeting a need!

NWI Food Bank Sunday, June 7 2-5pm

Did you ever wonder what happens to all the food that is collected at Feed the Need?

It goes to the Northwest Indiana Food Bank, where it is sorted, boxed, and stored for future distribution.  However, it takes many hands to accomplish this.

On Sunday, June 7th, volunteers will meet at Life Bridge by 1:30pm (a Taco Lunch will be provided following 2nd service for volunteers) and we will wagon train to the NWI Food Bank to sort and box food from 2-5pm.  To participate, you must be 10 years old or older.  Please wear gym shoes - no flip flops.

Please direct questions to Traci Kersker (219) 707-0070.

Feed the Need this Saturday!

Sign up online today to participate in Feed the Need!

Feed the Need is a great chance to connect with our community and help those in need!

Something that I love is that everyone is blessed through this event.  God encourages His body as we watch people respond to the invitation to help those in need.  He encourages those who supply donations by helping them to be a part of something bigger than themselves.  Finally, He lets those in need know that they are not alone.

Celebrating the Launch of Bad Box Class

This past Tuesday saw the launch of the "Bad Box" Class.   If you haven't participated in this class, this is something that you will want to jump in on.  On Sundays you may learn the vocabulary and the highlights, but in this class you will dig into the scriptures and learn how to apply it to your everyday life,  to experience the fruit of God's Spirit more and more, and ultimately gain the freedom to experience the life God has planned for you.

It's not to late to jump in.  This study is open to Students (Grades 6-12) and Adults.  Children's programming is available.

Plan now to attend Tuesday nights:
Dinner 6:30pm
Study 7:00-8:30pm
