 It’s Time to Build an Ark!
The Sunday School is
launching its first mission
project of 2008! Many of you will remember
that last year we raised over $2,000 for the
Heifer Project. If you are not familiar with
this organization, it has helped more than
8.5 million impoverished families in 125
countries escape poverty and move toward
self-reliance. Its goal is to end world
hunger and save the earth through the gift
of farm animals and training.
This year, we would like to raise $5,000 and
purchase an Ark, which includes cows, sheep,
camels, oxen, water buffalo, pigs, beehives,
goats, donkeys, ducks, rabbits, guinea pigs,
chicks and llamas which will be distributed
around the world.
In order to achieve this ambitious goal, we
will need the support of the congregation.
The Sunday School students are being
encouraged to do extra chores around the
house; “Read to Feed”, whereby they will
collect pledges for the number of books
they read; and to be creative in their
fundraising efforts. Adults can just write a
check!
The project launches on February 3rd and
will end on March 30th. As always, we
appreciate your generous support and will
keep you posted on our progress with a
display in the Narthex and bulletin board
postings. Please turn in your donation to the
Sunday School or Church Office rather than
putting it in the offering plate. Thanks in
advance for helping our children help others!
