Rice Bowl Offering
The Rice Bowl Offering for the month of January is coming up on Sunday, and will be designated for the Brigade Boys and Girls Club in Wilmington! The Brigade Boys and Girls Club offers after-school and summer programs in a safe, positive and supervised environment. The programs offered are built around 5 core areas: character and leadership, education and career development, health and life skills, sports and fitness, and the arts. It's a great organization and they do great service for children and youth (many of whom are at-risk youth) in New Hanover and the surrounding counties! Check out their website: www.brigadebgc.org
**What is the Rice Bowl Offering, you might ask? On the last Sunday of each month, during the children's time, the children circulate around the sanctuary with small bowls collecting pocket change...or any other form of money folks wish to give...which is designated for an organization, usually local, although sometimes global, that focuses on impacting the lives of children and youth. Our children are a big part of the offering that we receive each month because of their participation in collecting and bringing the offering forward to the altar for a special blessing. And your offerings that are gathered each month for these organizations that impact the lives of children, make more of a difference than I think any of us realize! Thank you for your support!
