Introducing: Service Saturdays
Angel Food Ministries has been an important ministry to Garnett and some recent changes by Angel Food have, unfortunately, resulted in a decreased volunteer need as opposed to when we began Angel Food 5 years ago. As a result, we have been considering ways to reignite the need and opportunity for more volunteer service at Garnett.
From this idea, we introduce to you… Service Saturday. This concept is built around the notion that a number of smaller ministries, some existing – some waiting to be developed, can work together at Garnett during one Saturday morning a month, and that the whole is stronger than the sum of its parts. Ministries can feed off of the synergy created by multiple service efforts coexisting in the same time and space.
What does this mean to you? Service Saturdays will be one Saturday per month, focused around the Angel Food Distribution Day, which is generally the third Saturday of each month and Café Mosaic will be the central hub of activity during this time. Existing ministries or Life Groups can plan to join together during this time each month to serve and fellowship together.
The first Service Saturday is March 26th from 9am-11am. Our main project this month will be cleaning up the grounds in preparation for our April 2nd 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run Fundraising Event. We’ll have clean-up and organizational activities scheduled. All you have to do is show up willing to work for a couple of hours. Please join us, and continue to watch for more as we continue to develop the Service Saturdays at Garnett.

Souper Bowl of Caring Update
Souper Bowl of Caring Supplies 1,654 Cans
Souper Sunday of Caring succeeded in filling the Food Pantry with a shelf full of 1,654 cans to distribute to our friends in the neighborhood until summer. THANK YOU! We had a friendly competition between Life Groups and the winner is . . . we’ll tell you tomorrow–of course the most important thing is that Food Pantry ministry is upheld and families in need are served. Praise God, but we know everyone wants to know who won the competition, so stay tuned.
Canned Soup Donations
Don’t forget to bring the cans you collected during your Super Bowl parties to Service on Sunday Feb. 13th. There is a friendly competition going between the Life Groups to see which group can bring the most cans. All the cans will go directly to Garnett’s Food Pantry. Help us help our community!
Souper Bowl of Caring
The Super Bowl is a good opportunity to gather in our Life Groups, and why not use this opportunity to help others and have a little competition of our own?!
Here are two ways Garnett Church of Christ leadership is encouraging our body to serve February 6, the night of the Super Bowl.
First, throw a Super Bowl party for your Life Group and invite your neighbors, co-workers, and friends to join you. Let’s take advantage of the opportunity to invite people to our homes and Life Groups so we can get to know each other. As you get to know one another, invite them to church, have The Story invitation cards available.
Second, call the party “Souper Bowl of Caring.” The Souper Bowl of Caring started nationally 20 years ago when a youth group prayed, “Lord, as we enjoy the Super Bowl, help us be mindful of those without even a bowl of soup to eat.” That thought sparked the Souper Bowl of Caring, and since then $71 million dollars has been raised for the Food Bank, where Garnett gets food to serve hundreds of needy families each year. We will be collecting cans as part of the national effort but distributing them right from Garnett, which is a Food Bank of Northeastern Oklahoma official location.
Here’s the competition. Let’s see which Life Group can collect the most soup cans and most importantly how many cans total can we collect for Garnett’s Food Pantry!
Cans must be 10-11 oz like the traditional Campbell’s Soup size cans.
After you collect at your Souper Bowl Parties, each Life Group can bring cans to worship Sunday, February 13, and put them on stage along with your Life Group name and can count for our Food Pantry.
