A covered dish meal will be served, followed by entertainment by the Mount Olive Baptist Church Choir. All members of the community are invited to attend. 30 Hour Famine to hit country church group A number of young people in the areca will go without food for 30 hours on February 21-22 to help fight hunger and poverty around the world. The local students will join thousands of others across the U.S. and Canada in World Vision's annual 30 Hour Famine. The international Christian relief and development agency World Vision sponsors the 30) Hour Famine each year to help young people learn about global hunger issues and to raise funds for the fight against hunger. Participants are asking family, friends, and neighbors to sponsor them financially as they go without food for 30 hours to identify | with those who are hungry. Through videos, games, special events, and involvement in local community service projects, they learn about hunger and what they can do to help others. In 1996, more than 300,000 American young people raised over $4 million through the 30 Hour Famine. Doug McGlashan, the national director of the 30 Hour Famine, has seen the program grow dramati- cally over the past few years. McGlashan says, "Young people in this country have enormous compassion for children and families in need. The more they learn, the more they become committed to making a difference in their world. We can all learn from their exam- ple and enthusiasm.” "This is a great way for all of us to actually do something about the problem of hunger around the world," says Sue Unnasch, who is leading the youth group from Long Creek Presbyterian Church in the weekend of the 30 Hour Famine. "Sometimes when we see peo- ple starving, we feel there's nothing we can do, but this is a way that we really can make a difference in people's lives.” As part of the Famine, local participants will make and fill "wor- ship bags" for the younger children to use in the worship hour at Long Creck. They will also prepare a flower bed at Good Hope Presbyterian Church in Kings Mountain, and at Long Creck for planting later in the spring. They will spend some of the time in prayer and study as well as writing letters to members of Long Creek's partner church in Guatemala. Last ycar, similar Famine events around the world involved over onc million participants who raised enough to feed 22,000 children for a full year through World Vision projects. Anyone interested in participating in the 30 Hour Famine or in sponsoring participants in this group can contact Sue Unnasch at 629-6901.

Repeatedly, we hear, “Why?” That is how a child learns...by asking one who knows. As the child grows to adulthood, the questions become more difficult and the answers more elusive. Where does one go? : ‘Most solutions are found through experience and in the written word. It has been said that children live what they learn. If their experience has been to learn of God’s wisdom and love at an early age, they will likely search His Word for answers to more complex issues as an adult. In Matthew 7:7, we read...“Seek, and you will find: knock, and it will be opened to you.” Seek God this Sabbath in your local church or synagogue.
