2011-2012 This year the Sunday School Children wil be supporting the efforts of Lutheran World Relief in Africa. This incredible organization is working hard to help the people in drought and famine ravaged Somalia. Once again we are asking for everyone's help!! Please be generous with your donation of change for our Narthex collection jar. Past Projects: Raised $10,000 to buy two "arks" of animals with Heifer International. Raised $20,000 to benefit the people of the Rosebud Lakota Sioux tribe (including a university scholarship, eyeglass fund, support for the Two Strike community, and a visit from a 17-member church mission team) 2004-2005:Building Faith --supporting Habitat for Humanity Norristown. Work teams helped renovate homes, the children made housewarming gifts, the Joy Circle ran a Father's Day tool drive... 2007-2008: Raised more than $6,100 to purchase playground equipment for the Ninh Thuan Orphanage in Vietnam, and to send a number of the children to school, too. 2008-2009: Raised over $3,600 for Covenant House Philadelphia. In addition we collected hundreds of hat, gloves and scarves, made prayer pillows, and went down to the House several times to make sandwiches for their street outreach to teens. 2009-2010: Raised almost $5000 for charity:water, an organization that helps dig wells to bring clean drinking water to people around the word. 2010-2011: Raised over $2500 for Heifer International. The children did a great job with contributions, but it was the support of CLC’s grownups that put us over the top! This money will provide three camels for the people of Tanzania, as well as a flock of chicks. These animals will provide an on-going supply of milk and eggs for African families in need. Many, many thanks, as always, for your generosity! For more information about our annual special project, click here.
