African Craft Sale, August 18th & 25th

The African Craft Sale is planned for August 18th & 25th , Parish Hall, 8:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. African Team Ministries has been serving the churches in East Africa for more than 20 years. The proceeds from the handcrafted items for African Team Ministries will make it possible to provide Drip Irrigation Kits for the families in the drought and famine areas to whom we provided emergency food relief. This will enable them to grow food all year round instead of only when it rains. We also resettle displaced people, support orphans, provide AIDS education and prevention and literacy training. Through your support we are giving the gift of HOPE! If you have question, please contact Sandra Weir.
