The 2008 30 Hour Famine
This past year, in February of 2007, our youth group particpated for the first time ever in the World Vision 30 Hour Famine. From Saturday morning until Sunday afternoon, the youth of the church ate no food. During that time, we fed the homeless, raised money for World Vision, and learned about the plight of children all over the world. In the end, we ended up raising almost $800—enough to feed 30 kids for almost 30 days. It was a tremendous experience.
While I can’t speak for everyone else who participated, I can tell you that I was deeply moved during the 2007 30 Hour Famine. During our private worship service Sunday morning, before the rest of the church arrived for Sunday School, the Holy Spirit was with us in a very real way. I believe lives were touched in a lasting manner.
It’s for that reason, as well as for the opportunity to help make a difference in the lives of starving children, that I encourage you to begin making plans now for the 2008 30 Hour Famine, currently scheduled for May 17.
- Kids: please be in prayer about participating in the 2008 30 Hour Famine. Yes, I know that going for 30 hours without food is hard, but God will bless you for your sacrifice.
- Parents: prayerfully consider how you can encourage your kids to participate and how you can support the 2008 30 Hour Famine.
More information about the 2008 30 Hour Famine will be made available as the date for the Famine draws nearer. Until then, please see me (Scott, the Youth Director) for more information. God bless!

Hi!
I think you should include pictures on your home page of people in the church, worshiping God or something like that. Ginger
Hi Ginger! Thanks for reading. I would love to do that, but God has not given me the gift of photography, so my pictures aren’t very good! As soon as I can get some good, high quality pictures of our worship service, we probably will include those on the site.
