A Bread Bake Sale

“We had a bread sale along with our offering. We sent the proceeds to Bread for the World to help with future lobbying efforts.”

Gloria / Baldwin, WI

 

At the Student Center

“We had a table in the student center all week for those who wanted to write letters to their members of Congress. We generated a lot of letters and interest. We look forward to helping the movement grow on our campus.”

Melissa / Asbury Seminary, FL

 

Getting the Kids Involved

“While parents were writing, we gave the children paper plates printed with, “Dear Senator Schumer, Please vote for the One Spirit campaign! Your friend, ______.’ The kids colored and decorated these plates, adding food illustrations. We mailed these plates along with the parents’ letters. The kids loved being included… even the tiny tykes.”

Mary M. / Washington Mills, NY

 

John Chapter 6

“We planned our Offering of Letters to coincide with a sermon on Chapter 6 of John. I preached about physical and spiritual hunger, and put a basket in our narthex where congregants could place their letters. Our young adults were very pleased to see us engaging in social justice issues.”

Sent in by Doyle in Jefferson City, MO.

 

On the Church Bulletin Board

“We took the photos, statistics and sample letter from the Offering of Letters kit and posted them around our church to raise awareness of hunger and poverty issues.”

Katherine / Waco, TX

“As people of faith we are called to show compassion, love kindness, and do justice.

When we doubt our place in the political process, we need only recall the words of Jesus appealing to people to care for the common good."

Rev. John H. Thomas

United Church of Christ
