On Sunday, November 17, we’re hosting our 4th annual Kids Around the World OneMeal Packing Event where we’ll pack 30,000 meals to help nourish children in Sierra Leone, West Africa. Click here to watch a highlight video from last year.
This event is core to who we are as a community which is why we’re hosting it on a Sunday morning as our Expression of worship. This partnership with Kids Around The World is an opportunity to invite guests to step into our community and feel the love, energy, joy and excitement of God’s people living on mission together for something bigger than themselves, and them getting to be a part of it. We’re creating a Hope Zone, not just in our church building but also in West Africa. When the people of Sierra Leone learn that the meals they received were not packed by a machine but by people who were thinking about and praying for them from around the world - there’s a realization that they are loved and cared for by someone else, opening the door to consider they are also loved by God.
This event is an important way for us to live out our mission of being an authentic community that makes Jesus fully known so others may fully know him! Please be praying for this event, and invite your friends to join us on Sunday, November 17 from 9:30am-12:30pm (pizza lunch served at 11:30am). Children and youth will join us, so we will not have Missio Kids in the morning or Missio Youth group that evening.
Saturday, November 16 | Set Up
Can you help with set up? On Saturday morning (time TBD), we're setting up 24 tables, unloading a box truck with all of the OneMeal supplies, and prepping 12 stations to pack meals. Watch this video to learn more about the set up process, then email kelly@missiocommunity.org if you'd like to help.
