CLOTHING COLLECTION FOR THREE PASTORS AND THEIR FAMILIES
Please help us collect clothing for three pastors from Africa who are students in Grand Rapids, Michigan this year. Two are from Nkhoma Synod of the Church of Central Africa Presbyterian in Malawi and the other is from Zimbabwe. All three families came without even a lightweight jacket and, of course, without any winter clothes. Besides blouses, skirts, or dresses for the girls and the women (please, remember that the women do not wear pants), and shirts and pants for the men, they need jackets and coats plus pajamas. They also need shoes and boots, but some of the sizes are uncertain.

Please bring your items to the church office by Wednesday, October 1 – and know how much they will be appreciated. For additional information, please contact the church office at 574-234-4159. Thank you for your support.
