||do something||now||

Last Sunday, we presented a very simple ||do something||now|| project as a practical application to what we learned in part one of the "On Location" series. In this introductory message, Andy Stanley read Matthew 5:13 where Jesus said, "You are the salt of the earth." Andy shared that God has placed Christians on location to preserve hope in the lives of the people who think life is hopeless.

Did you know:

13% of Alabama's population is "food insecure" meaning they have uncertain or limited access to enough food for a healthy life.

One out of every five children in our area lives in poverty.

One out of every four Alabama's seniors lives below the poverty level.

42% of our neighbors that are "food insecure" had to choose between buying food and needed medicines.

||do something||now||

You are the salt of the earth. You can bring hope where hope seems fleeting. You can make a difference in our community. We are asking each person that walks onto the Auburn Church campus at the Marriott at Grand National to bring four cans of food. It's just that simple. Cans collected will be delivered to the Food Bank of East Alabama.

See you this Sunday for part two of "On Location."
