A Practical Way to Help Feed the Hungry ...

Preparations are well under way for the Feed My Starving Children Mobilepack event that Church of the Saviour is hosting on May 18, 2013.  The Mobilepack is a day long church and community effort to purchase and pack 100,000 nutritionally balanced rice meals to be distributed to hungry children around the world.  It will take place in the Great Hall.

Teams are being formed to help with the preparations.  There are several teams already formed: a Disciple Class team, Contemporary Disciples team, a Cleveland Orchestra team.  Can you think of a team that you can put together? Maybe a Sunday School class team, a work team or a Family team.  Check out the website to see what is already being done.

Take time to think about how you can support this event financially.  We have raised about one third of the total amount needed so we still have more to raise.  Have you made your donation yet?  You can donate through the church office or through the website:

We know of several families that will be donating the money saved during their Lenten fast.  The children of Church of the Saviour will be hosting a pasta dinner fundraiser on April 5.  Do you have an idea of a way that you can help?

We are excited about this upcoming event.  We will make a difference to help the hungry.
