SUPPORTING OTHERS WHILE HELPING YOURSELF:
ECHO FOOD SAVINGS
Melissa & John Harris
Sunday, October 19
9:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.
Room 12
With the rise in gas and food prices pinching our household budgets, may of us feel we simply cannot give more to he world than we do right now. We’re sure there are many who are looking at their monthly tithing commitment as more of a burden these days than a blessing and an honor. But Jesus called us to love each other and take care of those less fortunate. How do we meet this mandate with faith and a smile? What if there was a way to help your own family AND help our community?
Your church supports Evergreen Christian Outreach. We will show you how adding just $5.00 to your weekly grocery bill can make a difference in EChO’s ability to provide. While coupons have been around for a long time, we’ll point you to resources that will help you maximize their effectiveness and make grocery shopping fun again!
Melissa and John Harris are people trying to make their corner of the world just a little better. Armed with the experience of running a household on a budget and the desire to live in God’s principles, we want to share with you something that has made a huge difference in our live. Melissa and John Harris have a 19 year old college student. They managed to drop their own grocery bills while giving away hundreds of dollars worth of food, personal care items, and school supplies. There’s no “Easy” button, but it’s all well worth it!

|

· Assembly looks to future of spirituality, justice and witness
Approving a substantial change in priorities and culture, the World Council of Churches (WCC) 9th Assembly completed its meeting with prayer in Porto Alegre Thursday, and agreed to give priority to spirituality, ecumenical formation, global justice and prophetic witness.
· Assembly message invites churches and world to unite in prayer for transformation
The "Message" of the 9th Assembly is an invitation to prayer. In proposing the document for adoption, message committee moderator Wendy Evans explained that the message is neither a report nor an exhaustive listing of concerns, but that "the message reflects the heart of the Assembly".
· New WCC central committee elects officers and executive committee
Walter Altmann, Gennadios of Sassima and Margaretha Hendriks-Ririmasse are, respectively, the new moderator and vice moderators of the WCC central committee.
· Policy committee seeks to strengthen common calling
The 9th Assembly of the World Council of Churches today approved recommendations to "strengthen the WCC in the search for visible unity, enhance its ability to represent the member churches, and build new bridges for relationships and trust with other Christian churches not currently within its fellowship".
· WCC opens new channels for youth involvement
The World Council of Churches 9th Assembly sent a strong message on Thursday 23 February that youth are an integral part of the WCC's work, and their voices need to be heard.
