Liquid Church to pack One Million Holiday Meals

5,000 Volunteers Will Serve Across 6 New Jersey Locations on December 7 and December 8 as Part of Community Christmas Outreach Initiative

PARSIPPANY — In an effort to serve the hungry around the world, Liquid Church, recently named #43 on Outreach Magazine’s list of fastest-growing American Christian churches, has announced it will pack one million holiday meals in a single weekend during the church’s annual Christmas Outreach.

“In the Christmas season, we know many people are actively looking for opportunities to serve others, which is why we’re inviting everyone in the community to help us reach our goal of packing one million meals to reach the hungry around the world!” said Tim Lucas, lead pastor and founder of Liquid Church. “Every time there is a need, the servant-hearted people of New Jersey rise to the occasion – this year, we know we’ll need everyone to invite their neighbors, co-workers, or even grandma and the kids to help us reach our audacious goal!”

On Friday, December 7 and Saturday, December 8, 5,000 volunteers will gather across six locations, working to meet the goal of packing one million meals. Designed as a family event, children and parents will serve alongside each other at the Christmas Outreach, working in an “assembly line fashion” in order to pack thousands of meals in short order.

In 2017, Liquid Church provided one million meals to Hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico in the wake of Hurricane Maria, where thousands were left without food, water, power, and adequate shelter last Fall. This year, the church will partner with Feed My Starving Children, a faith-based nonprofit organization with a vision to eliminate malnutrition and starvation in children throughout the world.

“It’s part of our DNA at Liquid Church to serve others – both here at home and around the world – and our Christmas Outreach is a way we can put our faith into action by showing Christ’s compassion to our global neighbors-in-need!” said Lucas.

Liquid Church’s six Christmas Outreach locations include Nutley in Essex County, Parsippany in Morris County, Edison in Middlesex County, Somerset in Somerset County, and Garwood and Mountainside in Union County.

The Christmas Outreach is a family-friendly event and volunteers of all ages are welcome to serve. Attendance at Liquid Church is not required. Details and volunteer registration forms are available online by clicking here.

Liquid Church is one of New Jersey’s fastest-growing Christian churches. Officially launched in 2007 by Lead Pastor Tim Lucas, the church’s vision and mission is to “Saturate the State with the Gospel of Jesus Christ,” with six campuses in Essex, Middlesex, Morris, Somerset, and Union Counties. Each week, over 4,000 people experience Liquid Church’s worship services in New Jersey and around the globe through Church Online. As part of its global outreach, Liquid provides clean drinking water to the poorest of the poor, with dozens of completed wells in several countries including El Salvador and Nicaragua – and most recently, Rwanda! Liquid Church’s innovative approaches to outreach and ministry have been spotlighted by CNN, FOX News, and The Today Show. For more information click here.
