Final Tally on Pennies
Several months ago our Children's Ministry (specifically the 2nd - 5th Grade Sunday School Class and Vacation Bible School) began collecting pennies for the Nothing But Nets program. The plan was, through the month of July, to collect pennies (and any other money people would like to donate) toward the eradication of Malaria carrying mosquitoes in Africa through the United Methodist / UMCOR / United Nations / National Basketball Association program called Nothing But Nets. The final tally has been made and the children have raised $427.31. This is enough money to purchase nearly 43 nets, and in effect have the potential to save the lives of 43 families in Sub-Saharan Africa.
- through our kids
- with a few pennies
- in the life of our church
- with our small donation
- with the little things we do...
Our God can and does do great things in great ways so often. We just need to open our eyes to see it and be thankful that God has allowed us to have even a little part in it. If you would like to give in the future you may do so online at The United Methodist website or contact the church office for more information. Peace and Grace, J
