At Grace in March our focus was on HUNGER and God accomplished some amazing things as our people responded generously (how cool!):
14 people participated in the 30 Hour Famine, breaking their fast at communion during a Saturday night service and collecting over $1700 for World Vision. During the famine, volunteers made 300 sandwiches that are being delivered to those in need through the 363 Days homeless ministry in Minneapolis.Grace volunteers helped to pack over 100,000 meals at Feed My Starving Children during three shifts the last two weekends of the month. $900 was collected from the ELCA World Hunger boxes, and the funds go directly to World Hunger Relief. God’s Global Barnyard collections from Sunday school offerings this month helped to purchase 70 chicks, three ducks, a pig, a goat and a COW! Over 2000 pounds (a TON) of groceries were donated and delivered to local food shelves.
