Share your food with the hungry, and give shelter to the homeless.    – Isaiah 58:7

As we celebrate Christ’s birth, we invite you to share God’s “Hope in the Chaos” through seasonal generosity to the Christmas Offering and/or through an over and above gift to support the ministry of Country Club Christian Church. This year’s  Christmas Offering supports two local ministry partners:

  • HARVESTERS FOOD BANK: Addressing the critical need of food insecurity for our neighbors in Kansas City. Inventories have been critically low this fall. Our gift will be matched by a generous match grant and therefore will exponentially increase the nourishing fresh produce, meat, and canned goods at pantries, kitchens and shelters.

Jesus says, “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink… Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”   – Matthew 25:35-40

  • HABITAT FOR HUMANITY: Providing minor and major home repairs to keep homeowners in their homes and thus prevents homelessness. In the past year they completed 100 home repairs but the government funding for the program has been affected. Our gifts will empower families to remain in stable housing, to age in place and to keep their children in a thriving community.

Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food.  If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it?     – James 2:15-16

As a story collector for Harvesters and several other food banks around the country, I’ve visited dozens of mobile food distributions over the last several years. But this week (November 3-7), during the government shutdown, was vastly different. Here’s what I witnessed.
