FEED 5000 – Faith and Outreach
As followers of Christ, we are called to help our neighbors and share God’s abundant grace with those who are hungry. As we commemorate Christ Church’s 75th anniversary, help us demonstrate our love for others through our annual FEED 5000 outreach project.
This campaign is an opportunity to live out our faith by helping families who rely on these five local pantries for food assistance:
• Wesley Center - Dayton
• St. Paul United Methodist Church - Dayton
• Southern Hills United Methodist Church - Kettering
• Neighbor-to-Neighbor - Kettering
• St. Vincent Commons - Kettering
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
• PICK UP A FEED 5000 BOX – after any service on Easter (April 5), on April 12, or April 19. A shopping list will be included.
• RETURN THE FILLED BOX – to Christ Church Kettering Campus. Volunteers will be available on Sundays in April (12, 19, 26) to help unload boxes from your vehicle. Or, filled boxes can be dropped off at church during regular business hours through April 26.

We encourage you to make FEED 5000 a meaningful, family-centered spiritual experience. Invite your family into the joy of serving – shop and pray together and reflect on ways God uses us to take care of His people. Join us in praying over every box and for every family who receives your donated food. Ask God to bring nourishment and comfort to those struggling with hunger.
