The SNAP Challenge Is Happening This Lent
|
|
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is a federal program that provides a monthly food budget to low- and fixed-income families. During Lent Fourth Church youth and their families are invited to experience the SNAP Challenge: one day or one week in which they stick to a small stipend for their food budget that matches what the SNAP benefits are for the State of Illinois, roughly $5 per person per day.
If you want to participate, reply "SNAP" to this email. You will receive a document that contains further explanation--along with family discussion questions for before, during, and after the challenge--and you are then free to complete your day- or week-long SNAP Challenge at any point during the season of Lent (February 14 to March 31).

The High School Mission Trip Can Still Take People
|
|
Current eighth- through twelfth-grade students are invited to come on the High School Mission Trip this summer from July 15 to July 21 in southeast Missouri. This region was hit by some serious floods last year, so our team will work with Catholic Charities of Southeast Missouri to help with cleanup and rebuilding efforts.

Prayer for the Day
|
|
O God, who before the passion of your only begotten Son revealed his glory upon the holy mountain: Grant to us that we, beholding by faith the light of his countenance, may be strengthened to bear our cross and be changed into his likeness from glory to glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
