Seeds of Change

Advocacy? You Bet!

Many of you know that contacting your legislative leaders is an extremely effective way to advocate for hungry people.

Working with Bread for the World (a christian citizens lobbying group) is an great way to join other committed people of faith on specific issues. Many of you know that this year the Farm Bill is up for reauthorization. In it are several pieces that will affect hungry people.

Please consider holding an Offering of Letters at your church this spring. Make it a part of worship, or a meeting or even fellowship time. Plains and Peaks Presbytery will be holding theirs as a part of the May 18-19.

Please go to Seeds of Change for more information, or feel free to contact me!

Presbytery follow up!

Many of you know that at each meeting of the Plains and Peaks Presbytery we collect pennies for hunger during our meal times. Even though we only collect a little time, we pray that each gift may help the work that people are doing to make such a difference for hungry in this world. This past meeting our donations went to support the work of Jean Rankin of Sydney NE. She works with students trying to get their GED certificate. While doing so, she often feeds them or provides them with things that they need in order for them to be successful. Out of prayerful gratitude for her work, we donated the proceeds from our most recent Cents-Ability offering to Jean Rankin.

If you have an idea of who might benefit from the Cents-ability offering at St Andrews in Boulder- please contact me!

One Great Hour of Sharing!

By now, most of you are making your way through the promotion and interpretation of the One Great Hour of Sharing offering. There are many nice pieces in the kit this year, but if you need help try the Presbyterian Hunger Program web site. Once there you can click on new resources to order, art to download for your newsletters and bulletins and lots lots more! Please contact me if you need any help!
