For 11 days in early November, the entire United Church of Christ will make good on its “that they may all be one” motto with a coordinated mission campaign to gather more than one million food and household items for local food banks and marshal its 5,300 congregations to advocate collectively — and loudly — for hunger-related causes, both domestically and around the world.

“In a nutshell, ‘One united church on a shared mission for 11 powerful days to feed the hungry and confront food-related injustice’ is the centerpiece of this major push that we are launching today,” the Rev. Geoffrey A. Black, the UCC’s general minister and president, told United Church News. “If you’ve ever yearned for the whole UCC to walk hand in hand to achieve a common goal, this is the answer to that prayer.”

Here is how we are going to be involved:

We are collecting 111 bags of food for C.R.O.S. ministries. We are currently at 40 bags of food to give to C.R.O.S. to feed the hungry in our area. Help us get to 111.

We are inviting 111 people to our Lake Worth Community Dinner on 11/8/11. We are looking to raise awareness and support for our weekly dinner for those who are hungry for food and/or fellowship in our community.

We are participating in an 11 hour fast on Tuesday, 11/8/11. Join us Tuesday morning at 6:30 AM at the church as we spend time in prayer and encourage one another to fast during the day before our Community Dinner at 5:30 this evening.

“Friend Raising Sunday” is November 6. We have a goal of having 111 people in worship this Sunday to experience the extravagant welcome of our church.

We are raising $222 ($111×2) for Neighbors in Need. NIN is the domestic ministry offering of the United Church of Christ.

We will write 111 letters to elected leaders advocating on behalh of hunger related issues.

You are invited to join a group of people who gather to plan our weekly worship. Taking the scriptural texts and the theme for the week, we discuss music, readings, prayers, drama, altar design and other creative ways to communicate and experience God’s word for us.

If you are interested in being a part of this group, contact Pastor Jason.

In addition, we are always looking for people who would like to sing, play an instrument, or share a reading during our worship. Your presence and talent will enrich our worship experience!
