FEBRUARY 2011
MONTHLY
COMMUNION UMW Book Drive IT’S GOING TO BE
The Interfaith Hunger Initiative has cooked up an idea for participants congregation-wide. “One A-Maize-Ing Lunch” will take place on Sunday, February 27 in Great Hall. Two dozen communities of worship are each preparing a basic meal of maize and beans, similar to what a child in Kenya receives each day for lunch. This meal will be prepared and shared by us as a reminder of our own blessings. All can attend for free, but we encourage donations to help support our work with HIV/AIDS-affected students in Kenya through the Global Interfaith Partnership. The Interfaith Hunger Initiative believes that if we come together we can end hunger in our time, and that working together across faith lines on an important project strengthens our community. At 11AM, we will collaborate with Family Fuel to share a meal and a second “seating” will take place at Noon. Special guests will help us learn more about our brothers and sisters in Kenya.
St. Luke’s United Methodist Women will be collecting new and gently used books for the Indiana United Methodist Children’s Home during the month of February. Collection boxes marked “Books for IUMCH” will be located in the north and south ends of the West Passage. The youth (K-12) at Indiana United Methodist Children’s Home love to read. Following are specific titles they are in need of: Diary of a Wimpy Kid Series, Hunger Games Series by Suzanne Collins (Hunger Games, Catching Fire, Mockingjay, The Underland Chronicles), Mortal Instruments Series by Cassandra Clare (City of Bones, Ashes, Glass, Fallen Angles), James Patterson’s The Gift, Witch and Wizard, Demons and Druids, Watch the Skies and The Dangerous Days of Daniel X, and Laura Numeroff’s Series including If You Give a Pig a Pancake, etc. Pick up the complete list of books at the information desk.
