Youth Complete 30 Hour Famine

Our youth at FBC, participated in the 30 hour famine...collecting can goods, and money to send to support this very worthwhile event...world hunger. They began at 6 am Saturday morning and ended the event at 12:30 pm Sunday afternoon. During this time the gym was transformed into a makeshift cardboard village: They also gave away cookies in the community to those contributing to this event. My youngest daughter, Megan, understood the underling purpose (and told me as we were going to lunch): We had a hunger for food...it felt like a hole in me only food could fill...people have a hole in them and they use everything in this world to try to fill it. The only thing that will fill it and bring satisfaction and peace is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

I am extremely proud of our young people that participated in this event and for our Minister of Youth, Casey. With his better half, Sheri, at his side, they led our youth through this event. Below is a few photos of the porridge served after Sunday morning services.
