“Five Cylinder Faith”

Baptismal Covenant

You have made public profession of your faith.

Do you intend to continue in the covenant

God made with you in holy baptism:

        1. to live among God's faithful people,

        2. to hear the word of God and share in the Lord's supper,

        3. to proclaim the good news of God in Christ through word and deed,

        4. to serve all people, following the example of Jesus,

        5. and to strive for justice and peace in all the earth? - 5th Cylinder

Bread for the World [www.bread.org]

Bread for the World is a collective Christian voice urging our nation’s decisions makers to end hunger at home and abroad. Moved by God’s grace in Jesus Christ, we advocate for a world without hunger.

Pray

Here are some concerns you can include in your prayers right now:

§      people who experience persistent hunger,

     especially women and children

§       God’s love to guide our steps as we work to end hunger

§       the Church to advance the Gospel by working

        for justice and an end to hunger

§      the leaders of our country, that they will make ending hunger and poverty a           priority by 2017

§      an end to hunger globally by 2030

Act:  Bread for the World is urging Congress to renew our federal government’s major child nutrition programs, including those for school meals, summer feeding, and the WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) nutrition program for pregnant and new mothers along with their small children.  Every five years, Congress must re-authorize the law that funds these programs, which have helped millions of children over the decades. Thanks to the leadership of Bread for the World and its church partners, the 2010 Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act expanded and improved these programs.  Now is the time to renew these national nutrition programs. Be part of Bread’s 2015 Offering of Letters by taking a few minutes to write letters to your members of Congress.
