Hunger Walkers Pledges Announcement - Walk Scheduled 9/24/2011

Dear Hunger Walkers.... How are the pledges coming??  Just great we hope. This Sunday (9/4) and for the next couple of Sundays we will be running a bulletin announcement encouraging our congregants to make pledges in support of of you walkers. The announcement is below. Bev will print the names of us walkers if space permits so people will know who to contact to make a pledge. You will also note that the announcement calls for some of us to be at the front of Fellowship Hall during coffee hour. I will bring our poster to advertise our efforts. Any of you who who would like, please bring your collection envelope and  join us at the front of the hall to be available to take pledges. Grab your coffee and hang out as a group. I look forward to seeing you there.

Also, Mark Fagerlin is taking orders for First Congregational T-shirts. Our thought is to wear these t-shirts in the walk to identify ourselves as being form First Congregational. Please e-mail Mark –mfagerlin@gmail.com—and let him know your size and he will get one to you. Cost is $8.00.

Again I thank you, as do the various hunger fighting agencies of our county, for your efforts to raise fund for the Hunger Coalition---Roy Harris



HELP FIGHT HUNGER    Support our Walkers

Your Mission and Service Committee is organizing a team from our church to walk in the 29th annual Hunger Walk. Twenty nine of our fellow congregants have committed to make this five mile Hunger Walk on Sept 24. For us to reach our goal of raising a substantial fund to contribute to the Henderson County Hunger Coalition we all now need to support those walkers with a pledge of a contribution to the Coalition. Please seek out a member of the Walking Team and make as generous a pledge as you can.  Several of us will be at the front of the Fellowship Hall during coffee hour the next few weeks so we will not be hard to find. Listed below are the names of those who have committed to do the walk. You may want to seek out a particular friend.
