God’s Global Barnyard
Our Pastor, John C. Holliday, told us Lent should be a time of reflection, hope and commitment to acts of LOVE and CHARITY.
So we learned about the World Hunger Appeal (WHA) which sponsors God’s Global Barnyard. An animal can make a world of difference for a family in need. Animals provide food to eat, fertilizer to grow crops, and offspring to sell at the market. With one gift, you can help a family escape the cycle of hunger and poverty for good. Your gift can help people in one of 83 countries including the United States.
So we started our Buck a Chick program. Come to Prince of Peace on Sunday morning, color in a paper chick, and drop a dollar in the coin box. $10 can buy 10 chicks. POP’s pre school will also join us in learning how to HELP others who are in need.
If you want to contribute, you can send a check made out to Prince of Peace Church with WHA- God’s Global Barnyard in the memo portion.
