MOTHER’S DAY HONOR ROLL
In celebration of Mother’s Day on May 9th, members and friends are invited to honor or remember a mother or a woman that has been respected and loved as a mother figure. These names along with your dedication will appear in a special insert in our May 9th worship bulletin and in the newsletter. As we honor our mothers, we also acknowledge their important role in our lives and education. Considering this, the Joint Mission Team will be using your donation to contribute educational supplies to the Presbyterian Children’s Village in Luwero, Uganda. The village/boarding school currently cares for 106 needy children, from newborns to age 10, who are formerly street-connected children or those abandoned by family. The director of the school, Elder Noel spoke with our congregation last spring. In addition, he has met with our mission team sharing the work that they do with children who otherwise would be without a home and without hope. Let us honor our mothers by helping children.
