UPDATED/REVISED 2016 30 Hour Famine

Compass Worship Church 2016 30 Hour Famine
Revised and Updated

You will begin the Fast after you eat lunch on Friday.  Remember that the only things you are allowed are Water, Juice with no pulp, Gatorade, and sugarless Chewing Gum.  EAT LUNCH!  You will need this meal to make it through the weekend.

Friday at 3 PM any that would like to join Haley at the Jonesville Public Library can show up and help out.  It runs until 6 PM.  Otherwise, Friday you are on your own with the fast.

Saturday we will be at split locations.  We will be at the Jonesville Public Library to start off.  Be there at 9 AM.  We will be asking for Donations and sharing information about what we are doing.  This runs until 2 PM.  Once we are finished at that location, we will move to Speedy Chef.

We will need parent and church volunteers to help transport the Famine Participants to Speedy Chef.

Saturday Evening and the Breaking of the Fast.  Speedy Chef. Time Around 6 PM.

The Jonesville Public Library is located currently at 560 Winston Road, Jonesville (HWY 67) beside the Hugh Chatham Urgent Care.

What follows is the first page of the Friday Devotional book that was written to aid you as you begin the 30 Hour Famine.

            Whether this is your first 30 Hour Famine or you are a “veteran” of this event, you are being asked to make it your fight this year.  What does that mean?  Make what your fight?  Is this just about raising a few dollars for hungry kids?  Maybe you just want to add another service project to your personal checklist.  Some are just following the lead of another.  Whatever the reason you have arrived at this point in your life, it is the hope of the leaders of this event that you become a fighter for those that are in need.

            Approaching this year’s Famine the challenge to MAKE IT YOUR FIGHT brought a question that was asked of Jesus to mind.  And who is my neighbor? (Luke 10:29)  That is what this is about.  Helping neighbors.  The question you have to ask yourself and maybe even answer on Saturday for someone else is who is my neighbor?  We live in a culture that claims to be Christ Followers, but when it comes to helping neighbors things change.

            We are OK helping someone as long as we know that they are people who share our values.  We want to put conditions on our help.  It is very easy to then pick only those that look similar to us.  Those that might be a different color, different shape, poorer, had made mistakes, loved differently, been in jail, sick, or just different.  Soon our call from Christ to “Tend my Sheep” (John 21:16) becomes us sitting in judgment.

            Be aware whom you are fighting for.  These are people that live drastically different lives from us.  They are different, they are the other.
