Youth helping with Hands-On Mission

Justin Cowie, a senior at GHS and longtime church family member, is taking the lead in a very important ministry for our congregation.

Justin is meeting with many of our church groups (choirs, youth, Club 56 and Team 78, Mission, Finance, Session, Deacons, etc.) and inviting them to participate in a hands-on mission to ensure children have enough food to eat on weekends. The Y-Healthy Backpack organization sends backpacks home every Friday with children facing food insecurities. But first, the food has to be packed! That’s where Justin comes in. As he meets with church groups, he explains the backpack program and invites the group to a “packing party” at the Y’s warehouse. From there, the food is delivered to 22 area schools and into the hands of the children. If you haven’t heard from Justin and would like to be involved in this hands-on ministry, please email Ellen.
