World Hunger Awareness

Every third Sunday of the month, we at St. John Windfall celebrate World Hunger Awareness by:

· Having a Bake Sale

Some members bake their best baked goods; other people “buy” those baked goods with a donation to World Hunger.

· Noisy Offering

During both worship services, a second offering of pocket change is collected for World Hunger.  It is the “Noisy Offering” since the coins clatter inside the tin collection cans during the offering time!

· Praying for the end of hunger and oppression in our world

Prayers are offered at each service for an end to terror, injustice, and hunger in our world.

Learning about hunger issues.

Pamphlets, bulletin inserts, and other methods are used to teach God’s people about the needs of others throughout our world.
