Service Opportunity this Month!
For those who are in the Fairfax-GMU area, we invite you to take part in a service opportunity on Saturday, June 16, from 8:30 a.m. to noon. King of Kings Lutheran Church, Fairfax, is hosting a Stop Hunger Now event.
Stop Hunger Now is a meal packaging program run by an international hunger relief organization that coordinates the distribution of food around the world. The organization is driven by a vision to end world hunger in our lifetime.
On June 16, King of Kings hopes to assemble a team of 50 volunteers. Using an assembly line process, we'll package 10,000 meals in just two hours. The Stop Hunger Now meals are highly nutritious, dehydrated meals comprised of rice, soy, vegetables, flavoring and 21 essential vitamins and minerals. Each meal costs approximately 25 cents to make. The meals are easy to transport, store and distribute to those in greatest need.
Here's the schedule for Saturday, June 16th:
8:30 a.m. Light breakfast
9:00 a.m. Briefing/instructions/begin preparing meals
12:00 Noon Finish
King of Kings is located about 7 miles northwest of GMU at 4025 Kings Way, Fairfax, 22033, just off US 50 and just west of the Fairfax County Parkway.
Interested? Please let me know via e-mail or phone. Also indicate if you need transportation to get there.

I hope some of you will join us! Oh, yes—we are considering co-sponsoring a Stop Hunger Now event on campus with United College Ministries during Hunger and Homelessness Action Week in November. This would be a great opportunity to see firsthand what the program is all about—and to help those in need while having fellowship with fellow Christians!
Grace and peace,
Pastor Terry
