Canned food drive

What did you eat for breakfast today? I had a granola bar and some tea. You might have enjoyed some cereal, an egg or two, or perhaps pancakes. YUMMY! And then, what will it be for lunch? A sandwich, soup, salad, pizza to fill your belly? It's hard to remember that there are people in our community who might not get those options of things to eat. Some of them won't have anything to eat at all .

On September 14th, Chapelgate Church is hosting THE BIG PICNIC!!! (That should have boomed out to you in a stadium announcer's voice.) As part of the picnic, we are collecting canned goods and non-perishable items to donate to local food banks. Our gathering of food can make a difference in our community.

We have been loved so very much by a very generous God. He has given us all that we need. And He will use us to give to others what they need. Let's show God how thankful we are for His kindness to us in giving back to Him in canned goods for others. You know, beans, soup, tuna, corn, potato flakes, etc. Save up a few dollars from your allowance and see what you can get at the store.

Bring the goods to Sunday School on September 14th before THE BIG PICNIC and we'll be part of a major opportunity to give thanks to God!!
