On January 24th (Sunday) from 1pm to 3pm we'll kick it all off! We'll do all our planning for the event (publicity, fundraising, sevice ideas, activities for the Famine, and more!) We'll watch some videos about the Famine, and about why it's important. We'll also talk about alternatives to fasting for 30 hours if someone can't do it.
Wait... did you just say fasting for 30 hours? I know the girls in our youth group think they can do it... What about the boys? Last I heard, a few were complaining about missing out on just one meal! Think you can handle the challenge? After our kick off party, you might change your mind about how you feel. Our famine will take place on Saturday, February 27th - where you eat lunch and then don't eat anything else that day. We get together around 6pm at church, spend the night together and the next day. Around 6pm on Sunday, February 28th, we'll be having a covered dish dinner with church to break our fast.
Important info about the fast - if you have a medical condition, or medication you MUST take with food - please let us know so we can accomodate you! Also, youth who are 11 years and younger should not fast for 30 hours. Our fast is a "juice fast" where we will drink juice and water through the event. Those who cannot fast for 30 hours will be provided with a small meal here and there throughout the event.
I can't wait to share this event with you and for you to participate!
