PENNY POWER
“. . . if you offer food to the hungry and satisfy the needs of the afflicted, then your light
shall rise in the darkness and your gloom be like the noonday.” (Isaiah 58:10)
During February and March we are collecting for PENNY POWER. Our coins will be
counted at the PA Relief Sale, April 4 & 5. Contributions can be placed in the coin barrel
in the foyer or in containers in your classrooms.
In 2013, Penny Power at the Pennsylvania Relief Sale raised $145,509.55 for MCC's
water program. There were 863,461 coins counted and also two matches from
anonymous donors; one for $50,000, the other for $15,000. Penny Power 2014 will
support the food program work that MCC is doing around the world.
MCC's food program works where food insecurity makes it difficult for communities to
provide a sufficient, year round supply of food to families. Read stories and examples @
food.mcc.org. In Matthew 25:35 Jesus said "I was hungry and you gave me food..."
Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
( Psalm 51:10 )
