MISSION EMPHASIS FOR JUNE: HEIFER PROJECT
The Heifer Project International provides animals and related assistance to families and communities in need, to help them on a long-term basis. Through the years, we have provided enough money to complete two Heifer Arks at $5,000 each. We are presently working to provide the Heifer Project with camels. Camels are very useful animals. They are used for transportation, carrying cargo and plowing the land. Camels can also provide milk. Our Sunday School is currently raising money to buy 3 camels. As of June 12 we have already raised $1,398.53—over halfway toward reachning our goal of $2,550.00 for 3 camels by Epiphany 2012.
Food fOR the Month
This year the Missions Committee has decided to designated a specific food each month to be provided to the Salvation Army. The food item for June is cans of tomatoes. Of course other items are welcome as well. Some of the items that are always needed for the food pantry are: peanut butter, jelly, crackers, macaroni & cheese, canned vegetables, soup, top ramen, and tuna. Please place your items in the blue bucket in the Narthex, and they will be taken to the Salvation Army.
