At the risk of planning way too ahead (is that even possible?) I'd like to suggest to those of you in Bozeman that you check out your calendar and write down "CROP Walk" on Sunday afternoon, October 19th. This year's walk will be the 21st in Bozeman, and it's a great opportunity to raise money for the Gallatin Valley Food Bank and other organizations that fight hunger around the world.
It's also a good opportunity to walk in solidarity with those who are forced to walk each day for water, food, fuel or to take their goods to market. Hungry people in developing countries typically walk as much as six miles each day just to live. And to think I climb in the car without blinking an eye to drive the 1.8 miles from my house to the church's building most days.
SO - please pray about signing up to walk. And if you can't walk, pray for those who will (and those who do walk every day). If you're able, make a contribution in support of one of Christ the King's CROP walkers.
