MEALS FOR HAITI
Numana is again providing the opportunity for people to join together to package meals for the Haitians. There continues to be a desperate need for food and the goal is to package 1,000,000 meals the week-end of February 5. Packaging will take place at the WSU Hughes Metropolitan Complex at 29th North and Oliver. Individuals can help on Feb. 5 (Friday) and 6 (Saturday) from 8am to 8pm. And Sunday, 1pm to 8pm. PVUMC will be hosting a time to go on Saturday, Feb. 6. We will meet at the church for pizza and pop at noon and head for the Complex around 12:45pm. Childcare will be provided although there were many children (around six years and up) helping with the packaging last week-end (they provide stepping stools). We will also have the van to transport people. For your planning purposes, know that we will be waiting in line for approximately 45 minutes (which speaks well of the Wichita people!) and work for an hour. If you have any questions, email Kathy Wilson at (katy49did@ cox.net) or call 831-9831.

Souper Bowl of Caring
Sunday, February 7th
Since the Souper Bowl of Caring began in 1990 with one youth group, the youth of America have raised more than $60 Million for food banks, soup kitchens and other charities across the country. Now it's your turn to fight hunger in the event that is transforming Super Bowl Weekend into the nation'slargest youth-led weekend of giving and serving. How can you help? We are asking that you drop $1, $5, or $10 in the soup pot as you leave services on this day. All proceeds go to UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief) Haiti Emergency relief efforts.
