Our Sunday School "Upper Classroom" (Grades 1-5) are learning about the challenges faced by so many children in Haiti. Their project for January has been a "Miracle Packet," an envelope for notes, prayers, poems, small toys and photos done at home to send to children in Haiti. On Valentine's Day, our class (together with others from our Sunday School) will hold a Coffee Hour Bake Sale after the 10:00 service ~ all proceeds go with the Miracle Packets. We hope to raise our hands and hearts to Haiti on Valentine's Day!
