Wednesday, February 4
TOILET PAPER: Students are encouraged to bring donations of toilet paper to PowerLife TONIGHT! All donations of (new and unopened) packages of toilet paper will help support our annual SouperBowl Food Drive!
JERSEY NIGHT: Everyone is invited to wear their favorite jersey (of any sport) to PowerLife TONIGHT! This is optional, but all are welcome to join the fun as we prepare to celebrate the Souper Bowl Food Drive this weekend!
SERVICE PROJECT: Next Saturday, February 14, PowerLife students will be packaging meals for the hungry. We will assign each PowerLife group a specific ONE-HOUR timeslot to serve between 9:00 am and 1:00 pm. A final schedule will be sent to families after a final headcount tonight. We hope your student can join us at Meals from the Heartland to serve! It’s a fun and simple way to make a big impact in the lives of others!
DONATIONS: Tonight, each student will be coming home with an empty meal packet with an invitation to consider making a donation (this can be a financial gift or a prayer offering). This is a great opportunity to teach students what the Bible says about giving.
“… remember the words of the Lord Jesus: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’” Acts 20:35
But when you give to the poor, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving
will be in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you. Matthew 6:3-4
You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure.
“For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.” 2 Corinthians 9:7
As the Bible so clearly states, there is NO PRESSURE to give, but simply an invitation to consider doing so. Please take a moment to connect with your student and discuss.
Every penny counts!
