The Mission and Youth Ministries Committees are working together to sponsor a Service Saturday at Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) in Schaumburg. Every year, millions of children die from preventable causes such as pneumonia, diarrhea, malaria and undernutrition. Hunger is still causing nearly half of the deaths in children under 5 years old. From this data, we estimate at least 6,200 children die each day from causes related to undernutrition. This is heartbreaking.

FMSC believes hope starts with food. As a Christian nonprofit, FMSC is dedicated to seeing every child whole in body and spirit. FMSC works with food distribution partners that stay with communities for the long haul, empowering them to move from relief to development. FMSC meals are developed by food science and nutrition professionals to supplement nutritional needs and reduce problems with malnutrition.

Nutrition allows children to grow, thrive and develop to their full potential. You can sign-up by scanning the QR code, or go to the Feed My Starving Children website and sign up with code 93VD5B. Contact Rev. Rebekah Anderson for more details.

Christmas Camp is returning this year in November and December! Christmas Camp incorporates the music, drama, crafts and fun of Vacation Bible School with the joy of our Children’s Christmas Pageant.

This year, we’re trying something new: The pageant will start at 10:30 am on Christmas Eve rather than the afternoon.

Christmas Camp will take place during Family Night on Wednesday evenings beginning November 20. Families are invited to enjoy Family Night dinner in Fellowship Hall from 6:00-6:45 pm before Christmas Camp from 6:45 to 8:00 pm.

Please note that Family Night and Christmas Camp will not be held on November 27 due to the Thanksgiving holiday. Christmas Camp will meet on Wednesday, November 20, December 4, December 11 and December 18. Friends are welcome—We hope you’ll join us!
