I want to mention one additional mission opportunity that is coming up next
month. On Sunday, October 8, following worship, anyone who wishes may join me at
Gring’s Mill for the Reading-Berks CROP Walk. This is an initiative of Church World
Service, and the proceeds go to fight hunger here in Berks County and around the
world. 25% of the money raised will go to Helping Harvest. The walk starts around 1:15,
and there are options for 1K, 6K, or 10K walks along Tulpehocken Creek. I have set our
church’s fundraising goal at a modest $250, so even if you don’t plan to walk, you can
make a donation at our team page . If you do wish to walk, please contact me
( pastor@communityucc.net or 614.633.9319).
