IT'S SOUP-ER  BOWL TIME !!!!
 
Save the date: FEBRUARY 5, 2017.  Super Bowl Sunday is coming up, and it's time for the Deacons’ famous Soup-er Luncheon held in the fellowship hall right after church. A selection of soups will be available as well as crackers, beverages, and a variety of desserts. A free will offering will be collected with proceeds again donated to Eleanor’s Pantry.

A little history about this event which our church has been participating in for over 15 years:
 

The soup-er bowl food/money collection began as a youth-led movement in 1990 to help the hurt and hungry around the world. A seminary intern from South Carolina, who wanted to use the energy surrounding the Super Bowl to care for those who face hunger and poverty and to break the negative impact on those individuals as well as the communities in which they live  offered the following prayer, which later became the vision statement of the group.

Family Potluck Dinner featuring MONTAÑA DE LUZ

Join the members of the Mission Commission at our January 19th church potluck for an information sharing on how we can join many other giving hearts in support of the ministry at Montaña de Luz.

 

See their web page at Montañadeluz.org. 

Montaña de Luz was begun as a hospice for children with HIV/AIDS in Honduras whose parents had died or had become too ill to care for them.  Located an hour and half to the East of Tegucigalpa on top of a mountain overlooking a valley of small towns and sugar cane fields the mountain of light is a refuge for children who desperately need the specialized care, nurturing, healing and love provided to them in this refuge from a world where AIDS is stigmatizing. 

Our purpose is to love and care for these vulnerable children, empower them with knowledge and resiliency to grow into productive members of the community, to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS while working to eliminate discrimination and prejudice of people living with HIV, to facilitate bridges of understanding and compassion while helping to form global citizens through our service team and Long Term Volunteer experiences and to facilitate meaningful opportunities for giving of both personal and financial resources.
