Celebration of Hope "Food Challenge"

Celebration of Hope at Willow Creek Community Church provides many opportunites to focus on and care for others as Jesus taught. This past weekend, we had opportunities to learn about the need for clean drinking water in places around the world right in the lobby of our church. Did you have a conversation?

Next weekend 4/25 & 26 in Elgin, 1200 people will have an opportunity to make a difference by packaging sustainable food packs for starving children. My heart was filled this morning to see that almost 1000 have signed up to serve. If you have not registered, or would like to invite more, there are openings on Saturday and Sunday at 5 PM.

Today begins the 5 day "Food Challenge" at Willow. Many of us are participating. I am using this time to open my heart to God. He has already blessed me. Watching 96 of you register for FMSC last night moved my heart to praise. What is your experience?

Come back to the blog each day this week. There will be regular posts. Before leaving the blog today, post a comment on how God is beginning to speak, what you hope He will do in your heart, or perhaps a blessing already provided. My hope is we can encourage others and lift up "Yeah God" stories. READY for the CHALLENGE? Start now!

Blessings,
Your Area Pastor
