Lent 2008 Sunday School children are asked to bring in a specific food item each Sunday during Lent. Please see the list below for each week s designated item. The food will be collected during the Children s Sermon and brought to the MANNA food pantry here in Hartford. Feel free to bring more than one of each item each week. In Sunday School we talk about how much Jesus loves us and loves everyone and that Jesus wants us to love others, too. We talk about how Jesus special love helps us care for others. Our children may not understand true hunger, but they do know what it feels like when their tummies are hungry. Please engage your children in discussions about hunger and about how we can help feed others in this world C this world where God has provided enough for everyone so that no one should be hungry. Take them with you to the grocery store and have them pick out their favorite kind of the item requested each week. Perhaps they can buy an item with their own money or perform an extra chore to earn the money. Please use the attached interactive calendar and guide your children in weekly discussions that will deepen their and your own observance of Lent.
