Angel Food Ministries is a
non-profit, non-denominational organization dedicated to
providing grocery relief and financial support to
communities throughout the United States. This
food program began with 34 families in Monroe, Georgia (between Atlanta and Athens)
in 1994, and has grown to serve 1.6
million families in 2005 across
32 states. Angel Food Ministries
crosses denominational lines and is presently working with
several congregations here in Cedar Rapids. Angel Food
Ministries, like most all other retail grocery stores, also participates
in the U.S. Food Stamp program, using the Off-Line Food Stamp Voucher
system. Visit www.angelfoodministries.com

 CARE-FEST
Volunteer Coordinators Dave

Saturdays,
May through October @ 'The House'
We take the
PRAYER-CARE-SHARE effort to the next level by offering our summer of
six CARE-FEST events @ The House. Come join us as we share the
compassionate love of Jesus through simple acts of kindness.
CARE-FEST is a mini-Convey of Hope, offering our guests
budget-stretching food items (through Angel Food Ministries), free
coffee & coke, free prayer, and a growing list of compassion
ministries geared to bless our city with the love of Jesus!
As we go into Summer 2006, we are
distributing nearly 50 Angel Food Ministries boxes to our
guests each month. With CARE-FEST we expect that
distribution to easily triple in size as the word gets out
about this blessing of healthy foods at a low cost. Our goal
as a church family is to find creative ways to demonstrate
the love of Jesus through our simple acts of kindness shown
to our Angel Food guests. We will begin by simply offering
three basic services to our Angel Food guests.
1. FREE Coffee
& Coke Booth (a
crowd-favorite...who can say no to a free COKE?) Setup @ 9:30 AM, 10 AM
-Noon Serving Guests
2. FREE
Helpful Hands Booth (loading up our guests'
cars with Angel Food orders!) Setup @ 9:30 AM, 10 AM-Noon Serving
Guests
3. FREE
Smiles & Prayer Booth (Got
a need? FREE prayer! No charge!) Setup @ 9:30 AM, 10 AM-Noon Serving
Guests
In the future, we will want to add
other ministry outreaches such as: MUSIC
& ENTERTAINMENT.
