MANNA FROM HEAVEN

CHURCH HELPS SINGLE PARENTS IN RECESSION

Las Vegas, NV-  Deep Roots Christian Church is hosting “MARCH-MANNA” an outreach to single parents on Saturday, March 20th from 9:00am.-3:00pm.

“MARCH-MANNA,” is a community event to provide food, toiletries, and paper products to unemployed, underemployed, and single parents who may not qualify for most assistance/help programs, but have a need due to sickness, financial hardship, unemployment, reduced wages, or just needing encouragement. There is no charge for the services. Participants must register online, by phone, or in person no later than March 18th, 2010.
“The recession has caused people’s hours to be cut and the cost for necessities continues to go up. We want people to experience the love of Jesus Christ in practical ways.”  Pastor Brent Lively said.

Deep Roots Congregation has prepared to serve over 500 families on that day. The amount of supplies each family receives will depend upon their family size. In addition to receiving groceries, participants may also be eligible to receive free hair cuts and medical care (must call for appointment).

An on-site free luncheon will be offered to everyone from 11:00-1:00pm. Live music will be provided for the even courtesy of musicians from area churches. Counseling and prayer ministry will also be available on site.

 “God still has the recipe for Manna! Ancient Israel received ‘bread from heaven’ during their forty year exodus from Egypt from 1445-1405 B.C.  We want people to know that God not only loves us, but that He provides for our basic needs.”  Pastor Brent Lively said.

Area Churches participating in the event are “Christ Community Church of the Nazarene”, Pastor Brian Medley, and “Centro Familiar de Adoracion” Pastor Norman Sigui.

Deep Roots Church relocated to a new building and held its Grand Opening celebration on September 28, 2008. The growing congregation has extended its services beyond northwest Las Vegas over the years, including outreach efforts in Mexico where church members help build homes, feed the homeless, and help orphans and single mothers.
