NPC Kids Connections

October 18th, 2017

Dear NPC Families,

We hope this message finds everyone well!

Here's an update on all that's going on with Northminster's Children's Ministry in October. This weekend we have two different events that we encourage you to take part in! WE THANK YOU FOR READING TO THE VERY BOTTOM!

MISSION Afternoon on Saturday, October 21, 2017

Help us pack 10,000 meals for children and expectant mothers on Saturday, October 21

1-4pm

We have an awesome opportunity to partner with the folks at Rise Against Hunger, an international hunger relief organization that distributes food and life-changing aid to the world’s most vulnerable, mobilizing the necessary resources to end hunger by 2030.

The organization will deliver supplies and provide training on how to assemble 10,000 meal kits which will then be distributed to families in need. It’s very likely these kits will be sent to families who are recovering from Hurricane Harvey or Irma although some may be sent elsewhere. Their goal is to feed children and expectant mothers; more information can be found on their website - riseagainsthunger.org .

We need a 60+ volunteers. Children as young as 4 years old are welcome to help package meals. Please contact andreavandervort@gmail.com to sign up for October 21st 1-4pm!

We will be in the Fellowship Hall for this event!

Sign-up here!
