Yard Sale – April 8, 7-1

Save the date!  We are hosting a community yard sale in the WMPC parking lot to help fellow members Elisabeth Hammond and Jen Boudreaux raise funds for our spring mission trip to Haiti, in support of the Yahve-Jire Children’s Foundation kids outside of Port-au-Prince.   We are looking for donations of items to sell and will have tables available at $20 each if you wish to keep proceeds from items you have for sale for yourself.

The sale will be on April 8th7:00 am – 1:00 pm – all donations should be brought to the Fellowship Hall on Friday the 7th.  Any donated items which so not sell will be donated to the Vietnam Vets after 1:00 pm on Saturday.  If the weather is bad, we will move inside the Hall.

As defined by The Presbyterian Mission Agency, World Communion Sunday, the first Sunday in October, celebrates our oneness in Christ with all our brothers and sisters around the world.  Paul tells us that we are to “discern the body” when we partake of Holy Communion, mindful that we note our relationship to all our brothers and sisters in Christ in the celebration.  One is not to go hungry while another is drunk! (I Cor. 11:21).  This is scandalous behavior opposed to the Way of Christ.  Thus it is appropriate that World Communion Sunday is also a time when we receive the annual Peace and Global Witness Offering as a way of continuing the ancient Christian practice of sharing what we have with brothers and sisters in need.
