Newsbrief: Bring Your Tennis Shoes!

I'm coming to church with my tennis shoes on this Sunday.

And I hope you will too!

I’m coming to church with my tennis shoes on, because this Sunday is the East Valley CROP Hunger Walk which supports Church World Service’s work to eradicate global hunger one step at a time.

 

During our worship service on Sunday we’ll recognize all of our walkers and offer a special prayer to commission them before they head to El Dorado Park for the walk. We have about a dozen walkers signed up so far, and it is not to late to join them!

If you can’t walk, then there are two things you can do to support our CROP Walkers. The first one is to come to church with your tennis shoes on. It might seem like a funny fashion statement (I’ll be wearing mine with suit, robe, and stole on!) but it is a great way of standing in solidarity with our CROP Walkers and with everyone throughout the world who benefits from the work of Church World Service.

The second thing you can do to support our CROP Walkers is to sponsor them. As a church we’ve been given a goal of $2000 to fundraise for Church World Service through the CROP Walk. Can you help us not only reach that goal but exceed it? We’ll be collecting donations after the worship service or you can give online at our church’s own CROP Walk Page by clicking here. The website gives you a secure, online way of giving (and it accepts credit card donations!) or you can donate via cash or check on Sunday.

Thank you to all of our Walkers! Thank you to everyone who has already given and everyone will donate! Thank you to everyone who supports this important ministry! I’ll see you all this Sunday…with tennis shoes on!
