Last week we mentioned our efforts to help Nepal farmers devastated by earthquakes in April 2015.  Vegetable seed packets or money to buy the packets are being collected until the end of September to be shipped to the farmers. 

The sale of their resulting crops will assist them in repaying their loans, gathering seeds for future years and rebuilding their lives and their farms.

 Choir rehearsals will begin on Tuesday, Sept. 6 at 7 p.m. in the church sanctuary after the summer hiatus.  You are invited to participate.  The “Lunch Bunch” will meet at noon on Thursday, Sept. 8 in the fellowship hall.
