Rooster Riddle Q: Which came first— the chicken or the egg?
A: According to the Bible (Genesis 1:20), the chicken. Heifer
agrees, usually supplying chicks to families who may not have
equipment to incubate hatching eggs.
On February 19th the Sunday school will be decorating container to use to collect money during Lent and making cards for our “Thinking of You” people. Everyone is invited to participate. So join us on Sunday, February 19, in the Education wing of our church after the worship service.
There will be a potluck luncheon and yes, there is room for everyone. This is always a fun filled fellowship time.
Everyone is invited to participate in our Lenten Mission Project by every day during Lent adding coins to your Lenten container and saying this prayer or help your children make up a prayer.
God, our Father, through our observance of Lent, help us to understand the
meaning of Your Son's death and resurrection, and teach us to reflect the love of
Jesus in our lives. We give thanks that you, God are like a mother bird
(Deuteronomy 32:11–12) who cares for her young (Matthew 23:37).
Through Heifer, we, too, can demonstrate our care for all members of God’s family. Amen.
This year’s mission project will be to purchase flocks of chicken through Heifer Project. How many flocks of chickens will we be able to buy? Heifer Chicks • $20 Flock
Amazing Arithmetic: One Heifer egg produces one hen that can lay around 400 eggs during her lifetime; half the eggs (200) will be cocks and half, hens. If the 200 hens each lay 400 eggs in their lifetime (80,000), and half are given to adults, how many eggs are there to provide hungry children with nutritious protein food? Answer: 40,000
