On January 17th-18th 2014 our youth participated in the 30 Hour Fast.  They began fasting at Noon on Friday and we broke the fast on Saturday evening with Communion before enjoying a feast of delicious pizza & wings.

The group went grocery shopping and spent $600.  Purchasing food for the Johnstown Council of Churches Food pantry, Foothills United Methodist Church food pantry, the Salvation Army food pantry and the United Congregational Church of Christ food pantry. 

They also donated $150 each to the Salvation Army Soup Kitchen the NOAH Project and Friday’s Table.

The kids fasted for 29 hours and 59 minutes and only complained about being hungry two or three times! Every time we do the fast, it is an eye-opening experience for the adults as well as the kids.
