YF Feeding the Multitudes this Saturday (June 2nd)


Every day I will praise you and extol your name for ever and ever.  Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom. One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts.  - Psalm 145:2-4   God is so good.  The Spirit was at work in everything, the relationships, the logistics, everything and coffeehouse was incredible.  The Lord can do more than we ask or imagine!  Even the difficulties and misunderstandings have brought us closer as a family.  Many that I talked with were deeply impacted, so please continue the prayer / discussions at school and with your friends.  Pray that coffeehouse would be a huge catalyst in their journey of encountering Jesus.  Praise the Lord that your life has been a testimony to your friends leading up to and following this event.  Be alert and continue to draw close to the Lord and each other.  

As part of Rock the River's Community Action Projects, we will join several churches to help feed the multitudes on Saturday, June 2nd (to be sensitive to all the big events we've had, there is no Friday program).  Jesus looked on the multitudes with compassion, taking care of their needs throughout the day. Finally at the end of the day He feeds them.  We will gather with our brothers and sisters from Alliance here at CCCO at 9:20am.  Here we will have some sharing and instructions and then prepare as many lunches as we can to give out in various parts of downtown.   Feel free to invite your friends from coffeehouse to get involved as they will also receive community service hours for taking part.  This is a fantastic opportunity for us to put our faith into action.   If you know of any willing drivers to help transport groups downtown and to Mooney's, please let us know too!

Bring: 
- Please bring $5 (or any amount to help offset costs of purchasing the lunches) 
- Rain gear as it is forecasted to rain on Saturday. 

Our tentative schedule looks like this:
9:20 - 10:00am Sharing and instructions
10 - 11am packing the lunches
Eat a bagged lunch
11am - 2pm handing out food
2pm - make way to Mooney's Bay for celebration barbeque
