Messiah Lutheran Church Helps Feed Homeless Children
On Sunday, May 17, Messiah Lutheran Church presented Giving Children Hope with a check for $7,707.13 for the We’ve Got Your Back program!
Every year the children in Sunday school do a service project for Lent. This year the kids were given mini backpacks to collect spare money and change during Lent for Giving Children Hope. On Palm Sunday the kids deposited the coins into “BIG” backpacks during their Children’s Worship Hour. The kids collected just over $700. The balance of the money was donations by the congregation. Usually church members can donate $10 for the cost of an Easter Lily for the Sanctuary for Easter services. Instead of lilies this year, the church asked the congregation to donate to Giving Children Hope. The children also came to fill backpacks full of food.
This money will help Giving Children Hope continue to feed homeless children in Orange County.
GCHope wants to thank Messiah Lutheran for making a difference in our community!
