Ready, Set....WAIT

Here are a couple of staples that are always flying off the shelves at Metro CareRing.  These items are needed EVERY DAY.   Participants who visit Metro CareRing always select a soup, an entree, peanut butter or tuna, a vegetables/fruit and a beverage, thus these items are essential to creating their meal and are always in high demand.

Applesauce 
Dinty Moore Stew
Vegetables 
Entrees - Chef Boyardee, etc. 
Nuts 
Tuna

As we enter into this season of Advent,

As we wait for the Christ Child to come,

Let us end the wait for those needing a meal.

Don't wait to share the hope and message of 12.12.12 with others today!

Peach Be With You

 

On the first day of December, 

my true love gave to me....

a can of peaches for the pantry!

One can of organic, sliced peaches is only $1.25 and is easily purchased through the Virtual Food Drive website, available HERE.

Toss a couple of cans in your virtual cart, and you'll be spreading the love and singing your way to ending hunger in no time!

Peach be with you. 

And also with you.

Come and See

"Come and see."  They came and saw.  John 1:39

Reports in the New Testament tell us that Andrew was a fisherman by trade, a follower of John the Baptist and a disciple of Jesus.  Andrew quickly recognizes Jesus as the Messiah, and invites his brother, Simon Peter, to come and see for himself. 

This invitation to “come and see” is a wonderful reminder that we, too, can offer such encouragement to others to come and see:  to see what they've been given, how they in turn can give, and how they can be a part of a powerful and caring ministry themselves.  

Andrew was a common man who simply wanted to share his excitement over the ministry of Christ with his very own brother.  Share the mission of 12.12.12 with a family member today, inviting them to “come and see” the rich rewards of helping their neighbor.
