FEED THE HUNGRY post Setptember 22, 2004 *** The following letter is to be sent out to Miami County Organizations. *** Hello, Greetings from our church. It’s time again to hear how we can all partner with Feed the Hungry of LESEA Global Ministries. Last year there was tremendous support from many area Churches, Caring Organizations, individuals, and corporate sponsorship. The list of volunteers and contributors would be too extensive for this letter. The week before Christmas there was 40,000 pounds of food distributed to individuals at the Miami County Fairgrounds, Nesting Doves crisis pregnancy center located in Kokomo, Helping Hands located in Peru, and area Churches filled their food pantries. Many pantries were filled for the following months. This successful effort was truly a cooperative effort and illustrates the compassion of people. Orientation for this years distribution will be Saturday, October 16, at 10am at the Bunker Hill Free Will Baptist Church. This will be a Joint Service with information from Feed The Hungry representatives. There will be special music and lunch will be provided. All Miami County Pastors, Representatives, or Volunteers are encouraged to join others in this worthwhile ministry to our neighbors. Please RSVP for the lunch count. Leave message (765) 689.7551 Sincerely, Pastor Bill Sheets Bunker Hill Free Will Baptist Church SUNDAY SCHOOL GRADES post September 23, 2004 *** Check out our Sunday School Page in the Education Section of our home page.
