The Church of Greater Lansing Project Update

Dec 30, 2008 Print This Post

On Christmas Eve, Riverview teamed up with about 25 churches to raise money to help the Lansing Food Bank. Our goal was to raise $40,000 between the churches to “Stomp out Hunger” in the Lansing area for the month of January.

At Riverview, we raised $20,378.68, which is absolutely mind-boggling! I couldn’t be more proud of our church! I will have the grand total from all the churches very soon and I will post that number on Twitter.

I think this whole thing is amazing. How awesome to see the churches in the Lansing area working together on such a cool project.

Now it’s time for the grunt work. On January 18th, we’ll be delivering food to 2000 families. We need your help, so please mark your calendars. Here are the logistics:

Eastern High School Jenison Field House – 220 N Pennsylvania Ave Lansing, MI
1:45pm – 5:30pm – please be there 1:45pm…apparently all churches aren’t “ish.”

We’ll be giving you more details during the services the next couple weekends.

Growing up in the Lansing area, I wanted nothing more than to get out. My exit strategy included a complex mixture of schemes for an urban church plant, iProducts, and an elaborate Bollywood car chase scene with zombies and catchy techno music.

As a 40 year old man, I find myself entrenched in the Lansing area at a church I love (Riverview), with 4 kids I love more (a high schooler, a junior higher, a middle schooler, and an elementary schooler), and a wife I love the most (Grace).

Instead of planting one church, I dream of helping hundreds get started without ever leaving my home base. I still love my iProducts and use them as tools to help lead and teach the thousands who attend Riverview. And when no one is looking, I blare the techno music and send my unimpressive resume to casting agents for Bollywood zombie films.
