Bishop's Round-Up for Hunger

Homer Parker and Pastor Jack took $1,125 "in kind" donations to Lawrence. We thank Homer for his hard work in preparing our gifts. We also collected $300 in contributions and food totaling $110.20. These gifts will remain in Independence at the Food Basket and are distributed to the F.A.S.T program.

Bishop's Round-up update

Bishop's Round-up for Hunger brought in $264,000 in cash and commodities. This figure does not count any contributions sent to the conference office in advance or gifts made directly to the recipient ministries for this effort. A number of churches will continue to report what they have done locally or taken directly to the receiving agencies over the new few weeks, which will add to this total. An article featuring this effort appeared in the Lawrence Journal-World.

Peace Begins When the Hungry Are Fed.

Saturday, November 17th, the 30th annual Kansas East Conference Round-Up for Hunger, is scheduled at the fairgrounds in Lawrence. We will once again be delivering items collected from our congregation. Please be generous in your giving to this project.
