YF Relay for Life and 30 Hour Famine Thanksgiving

first off, i am so proud of you all!!! you have participated in community ministry AND have served others across the globe and made an impact that is larger than you can even imagine. just our YF (don't have numbers for the combined ministerium yet) has raised $2760.31 for hungry families. that means that according to world vision, the money raised from CCCO YF group can feed eight families for an entire year. Praise the Lord! the fruit of this is tremendous, not to mention setting an example for community ministry by gathering sooo much food for the food bank, blessing the seniors, picking up trash and praying for the community/famine while fasting!
