Sardis doesn’t just want walkers and donations for the 2018 CROP Walk! We want our community to immerse itself in issues related to hunger. So we’re inviting you to participate in the 2018 Sardis CROP Challenge. Here’s how it works:

Everyone at Sardis (and friends, too!) are invited to see if they can earn 100 challenge points.

Points can be earned in the following ways:

● 25 points – Walk in CROP Walk. Register Here.

● Receive 1 point for every dollar donated up to $25

● Receive 25 points for every hour of volunteer work donated to CROP ministry partners – Crisis Assistance Ministries, Loaves and Fishes, or Second Harvest
Food Bank

● 15 Points – Register a friend to walk in CROP Walk

● 15 points for every article read about issues related to
hunger (recommendations)

● 10 points for every prayer given to empower our community to help eliminate hunger

● 10 points for every conversation you have with someone else to engage them in a discussion of the hunger crisis

● 10 points for every scripture passage you read related to issues of hunger (recommendations)

● 5 points for every act of encouragement you offer to a walk participant (word of thanks, note, text, etc.)

● 5 points for every social media engagement (post, share, like, comment, picture, etc.) to encourage
participation in this year’s CROP Walk and Challenge

● 5 points per canned good donated to the Sardis Baptist Food Drive

Scorecards are available in the church vestibule for you to track your points (or print your own). Points will be allocated on the honor system. Sardis will maintain a spreadsheet to keep tabs on the church’s progress. Please report your points to the church office on a weekly basis. In the Meetinghouse, we will display a bulletin board listing each participant (and a gold star for every point), as well as a progress thermometer. Our goal as a community is to earn 5,000 points. (That’s the equivalent of 50 people earning 100 points). To help get us started, Bob, Jacqueline, and Mary Allen Stillerman have pledged to give $1 for every 25 points earned up to our goal of 5,000 points. Let’s start walking today, so we can stop hunger in its tracks!
