Special Projects

Heifer International

Every fall, the church school students hold a bake sale. The purpose is to raise funds for our mission project, namely Heifer International. Heifer International is a nonprofit organization working to end hunger and poverty by giving food- and income-producing livestock to impoverished families around the world. (To learn more about this organization, visit the website, www.heifer.org).

Church school continues to co-sponsor a child with the Outreach Committee through the UCC child sponsorship program. Our sponsored child is a five year old girl who attends school at Rawdat-El-Zuhur in East Jerusalem. (For more information on the UCC child sponsorship program, go to www.nwoa.org/childspn.htm.
