"Buckets of Hope" for Haiti
The “Buckets of Hope” ministry is just one means by which Christians can fulfill the mandate of Jesus Christ to feed the hungry in the name of Jesus. As we are reminded in Matthew 25:40, Jesus tells us, "And the King shall answer and say unto them, 'Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.'" (KJV)
A “Bucket of Hope” consists of a plastic five-gallon bucket packed with selected foodstuffs. For approximately $30 anyone can purchase the materials and assemble a "Bucket of Hope." The food contained in a single bucket will feed a Haitian family for a week. You are also requested to include a $10 cash contribution, placed in an envelope and attached to the lid of the bucket, to offset the cost of transporting the relief buckets to Haiti.
Buckets must be packed with a specific list of food items inside. Please follow the detailed instructions carefully. This will ensure that every bucket quickly passes through customs and into the hands of the Haitian people.
We will kickoff this spring outreach campaign on Friday, February 26th. Collections will be stored in the LCA gymnasium until the campaign is over on March 15th.

"Donuts with Dad" and "Muffins with Mom" Coming Soon
If you missed our special breakfast times, you missed out on a blessing. It was so wonderful to witness moms and dads sharing precious moments with their children over donuts, muffins, and hot chocolate in the LCA gymnasium.
Keep your eyes peeled for the upcoming "Donuts with Dad" and "Muffins with Mom" special dates and times on the weekly Knight News packet note.
"At work, you think of the children you have left at home. At home, you think of the work you've left unfinished. Such a struggle is unleashed within yourself. Your heart is rent."
