August marked the 60th anniversary of CROP--the community hunger appeal of Church World Service--and the beginning of the fall CROP Hunger Walks season, in which tens of thousands of people in communities across the U.S. will sacrifice a few hours (and a blister or two) to raise money and show solidarity with impoverished people struggling to become self-sufficient. The CROP Walkers' motto: We walk because they walk! This Sunday, October 7th, New Bern will be holding its annual walk. Twenty-five percent of the proceeds raised will go to help Religious Community Services soup kitchen and emergency food pantry. Our youth have been asked to prepare and operate a water station in front of our church. We need several of you to help give out water. You need to be on the front steps of the church at 3:00 PM. I hope that you can come and support this wonderful mission project.
