No Hunger Games here

Too many children go to bed without enough food in their stomachs.  I have read as many as 1 in 5 children in the US are hungry.  Add to that number the children and adults around the world who are unsure of where their next meal will come from, and we have a serious problem on our hands.

The World Hunger Appeal and the Good Gifts program of the ELCA address just these issues at home and abroad.  Go to elca.org and participate in making a difference.

The Church provides more than nourishment for the soul and spirit; it fills tummies as well.  We will gather at the communion table this Sunday and be nourished by the hand of Jesus.  Let us reach out our hands and help nourish the hungry in our world as well.
