ADVENT SERVING OPTION #1

Here's a Quiz:  Which makes the bigger impact on a child in an impoverished part of the world: a shoebox filled with trinkets and socks? or a Chicken?

If you guessed chicken - you're RIGHT!  A gift of chicks can help such families add nourishing, life-sustaining eggs to their inadequate diets. The protein in just one egg is a nutritious gift for a hungry child, making a life-saving difference. A good hen can lay up to 200 eggs a year - plenty to eat, share or sell. Because chickens require little space and can thrive on readily available food scraps, families can make money from the birds without spending much. And chickens help control insects and fertilize gardens.

Will you and your family consider donating this Sunday to provide a chick(s) to an under-nourished child?  A donation table will be available after the service on Sunday 12/4 (this day only: live chicks to hold!!); donations accepted through Dec 24.
