30 Hour Famine this Weekend

Did you know?

Across the world 29,000 children die from hunger each day. EACH DAY! In fact, by the time you finish reading this post, about 40 children will have already died. What can be done about this? While we can’t expect to bring an end to this madness on our own, we can however bring awareness and change to those around us. Together, we can be sure this tragedy doesn’t go unnoticed.

This is why ARK will participate in the 30 Hour Famine this weekend. From Saturday 6AM to Sunday 12PM, we will forgo eating to understand what millions experience every day. We will also participate in fundraising to send to World Vision to assist in eliminating hunger around the world. Our fundraising event this year is once again selling flamingos to the congregation to place on their lawns OR to be delivered to their friends…whether they like it or not.

To assist in both aspects of the 30 Hour Famine, ARK will meet at church to encourage one another in fasting as well as deliver the flamingos to people’s homes. During our free time, we will pass the time together by playing games and drinking lots of water!

Finally as we end the fast, we will gather at Andrew/Helen’s home to share a meal together.
