Sunday School Mission Project

Giving to Others during Lent –  2012 Sunday School Mission Project

 

Instead of “giving up” something for Lent, once again this year we are encouraging our Sunday School classes to “give to others”  by bringing in food items to help needy families in our area. We want to help stock the shelves of Damascus Help in preparation for spring and summer needs.  During these tough economic times, we are aware of how many families need the food provided by Damascus Help.

We would like our students to do extra tasks or chores to earn the food donations they will give each week.  Please see if there is a child or a class you can challenge to help them earn extra money for this project. 

You can donate food items too!  All basic, non-perishable foods with valid expiration dates are welcome.  Please join us in “giving to others” during Lent.

 

For the children, each week of Lent will have a special focus for donations.

February 26^th  –     peanut butter and GRAPE jelly

March 4^th –     Spaghetti sauce and pasta

March 11^th –     hot or cold cereals

March 18^th   –   baby diapers, baby food

March 25^th   –  canned beans, canned vegetables, canned fruit

April 1^st   –       Macaroni & cheese boxes, tuna, or canned meat

Damascus Help always welcomes gift cards to Weis, Safeway or Walmart to buy things they need for their clients.

We are abundantly blessed at Damascus Church.  During Lent especially, may we put our faith into action and share with those in our area who are in great need. God bless each of you.
