Cash for Corn
2023-09-17 09:00 - 12:00, 2023-09-24 09:00 - 12:00 | Burke Community Church, 9900 Old Keene Mill Rd, Burke, VA, 22015, United States
In Malawi and neighboring African countries, “gogo” is the local word for grandmother/grandfather.
The devastation of the AIDS pandemic in Africa has changed the health and economics of nations and the grandmothers must raise their orphaned grandchildren. Gogo Grandmothers help these grandparents in Malawi by providing seed and fertilizer for the maize crops. These crops provide food for an entire year.
All funds raised from Cash for Corn will provide seed and critical applications of fertilizer to assure a good corn (maize) crop in the coming season. In this way, we get to participate in what God is doing as He provides food for a gogo (grandmother) and her orphaned grandchildren.
Cash for Corn bottles are available in the lobby on Sunday, September 3rd & 10th, at the Missions Station in the lobby. Please pick one up and fill with cash, checks, or change. Return the bottles on September 17th & 24th in the lobby. Checks should be made payable to “Gogo Grandmothers.”
For more information please go to www.gogograndmothers.com.

Few would deny that we are living in polarizing times. Whether it’s over politics, religion or any number of social issues, it seems like people are in a constant state of conflict. And like parents of squabbling children, most are growing weary of the battle. But how is a Christian to respond? By simply being who Christ called us to be. Followers of Jesus Christ have the one and only answer for a divided world; the one and only way to peace. We are united in Him. Against a backdrop of back-biting and division, our Christian unity stands out like a candle in a pitch-black room. When we are united in our devotion to Jesus, we offer a view of a life everybody needs and, deep inside, everybody wants. GO 2024 is all about how we set that example, how we can be united for the cause of Christ.

Dates: May 3 & 4
