THE LIST

Hey guys, happy Friday night!  Kicking back tonight watching the X-Games with family.  Just wanted to pass on a quick heads-up.  This afternoon I had occasion to go to our Food Closet at the Annex to get some much-needed food for a single mom and her family and guess what was in there?  Virtually nothing.  Ugh!

We're going to be sharing a bit about our responsibility as followers of Jesus to feed hungry people, clothe naked people, shelter homeless people and care for widows and orphans this weekend as part of our continuing series ALMOST FAMOUS.  If you read this Blog, you can get a jump on everyone else this weekend and really help make Jesus famous in our community.  Here's how:  Check out the list below, take it to the grocery store on Saturday and pick up some or all of the items on the list and BRING THEM TO THE CINEMA ON SUNDAY.  What's on this list - with a few perishables added - will feed a family of four for a week.  These items make up our emergency food boxes that are so, so necessary.  So here you go, be a ROADIE and make a difference.  You'll be glad you did, and so will the people that are helped by your generosity.  Peace.
