STOP HUNGER NOW: Following the great success of last year's on-site mission, the Upper New York Conference has committed to once again package meals during the 2015 Annual Conference Session. This year the   Conference endeavors to package 150,000 meals, twice the total in 2014.  There will be four meal-packaging shifts: two on Thursday, May 28 and two onFriday, May 29. All four shifts will again take place at the War Memorial. Email Kellie for the link to register or for more information.

LIFT IT UP: Since the Super Bowl is on February 1st, Lift It Up will be on February 8th. In March it will be on March 1st and April’s date will be April 12th (since the first Sunday is Easter).  I am trying to arrange the May Lift It Up to be back out at Camp Hough.  Stay warm and hope to see you in February!
