Is not this the fast that I choose:
to loose the bonds of injustice,
to undo the thongs of the yoke,
to let the oppressed go free,
and to break every yoke?
Is it not to share your bread with the hungry,
and bring the homeless poor into your house;
when you see the naked, to cover them,
and not to hide yourself from your own kin?
— Isaiah 58:6-7 (NRSV)
Love Grows Here - Week of CompassionSpecial Offering 2020
In church today, you have the opportunity to build something miraculous, to plant seeds of new life. Where God's people have suffered loss, you are invited to invest in the future. When you give to Week of Compassion, you gift travels to places where disaster or poverty has caused great suffering. Through your generosity, we empower communities to grow new kinds of crops in a changing climate; we support youth education and empower women with skills to support their family and their neighbors.
In these and so many other places, we are co-workers in the kingdom of God. Building, planting, watering... and trusting that God gives growth to all good gifts shared in faith.

Collected fish items will benefit the one in five children and one in seven adults who face food insecurity in the Ozarks. Fish contains many nutrients and has a high protein value, and it is requested by many people who receive food assistance through our network of 270 hunger-relief partners
