Good Fog

This week I have been in kind of a fog. Maybe it’s letdown after finishing up my last class for the year. Perhaps I’m still in denial about my oldest child turning 24 today and my youngest turning 20 last week. It could be that the various ministries this week have been pulling my attention in different directions. Whatever the reason, the week for me has been one where I’ve been watching everything that is happening around me, participating in my part, but all of it in a fog.

Saturday, May 28th, 2016 beginning at 9am and running into the evening.

Feed the Need Sign Ups are Open!

Save the date: June 4th 8am-8pm

Town & Country (Valparaiso & Portage)

Feed the Need is an annual event where we partner with Town & Country and other area churches to invite our community to join us in feeding those in need. We stand at the doors and hand out flyers that list items that are being collected. The flyers also invite them to purchase items on the list and drop them in receptacles on their way out. We organize them in the truck. This year cash donations will support the NWI Food Bank whose resources allow them to do much more with the money than we can, while the actual food donations will support smaller local food distribution centers.

To sign up to participate at the doors or on the truck, simply click here. This is a great way to spend time with your friends or meet some new ones!

For now, if you are interested in helping to coordinate this one day event, contact Jeni Bolton at Jeni@ImagineLifeDifferently.com.

Feed the Need Boxing–A New Opportunity!

Sunday, June 5th

Life Bridge Christian Church 1pm-5pm

In the past after Feed the Need has taken place at Town and Country, Student Ministry has gone up to NWI Food Bank to organize and package the food items that have been donated. With about 20 people we have often complete the sorting of the largest single day donation in about 2 hours.

This year we are doing something different and all are welcome (elementary kids need to be accompanied by a supervising adult)! As in the past the monetary donations will once again go to the NWI Food Bank who can do far more to feed those in need, but the actual food items will be boxed at Life Bridge and distributed to 4 local food pantries. These pantries can often do more to meet needs as they have ongoing relationships with the people they serve. This has the added benefit of pantries distributing food in the name of Jesus and spreading His love.

Go God! May this event feed both the body and the soul!

Birthright of Valparaiso

If you haven’t yet returned your baby bottle in support of Birthright of Valparaiso, please plan on dropping it in the receptacle at the ministry counter.
