Good News on Heifer Project!

We recently turned on 1,400 deposit bottles and cans, collecting $70 for Heifer Project International. When we add to that figure, the $160 from the August Ice Cream Social and the $200.25 from the bake sale, we’ve raised over $430 towards the kids’ goal of $6,500. And that doesn’t include the “piggy banks” we’ve all been filling since Pentecost. Remember, we’ll be collecting those October 3rd on World Communion Sunday. Thanks to John Hunt, who took our bags of cans and bottles to a redemption center in Valois, where they paid us 5 ½ cents for each can or bottle. Please continue to save your deposit bottles and cans. Our young people are collecting them to raise money for their Heifer Project. You can drop off your empties anytime. Please leave them at the bottom of the outside stairwell to Fellowship Hall.
