It's CROP Walk Time

The 4th annual St. Louis CROP Walk is Sunday, October 24.  You can find more information about the walk here: http://www.faithdesperes.org/crop-walk/

We need walkers and spirit walkers!  All money raised goes to Church World Service.  After the walk, everyone is invited to the Epling house for a chili supper.  Get a little exercise and do a good deed all at the same time!

We Need Your Old Shoes!

Henry Epling is helping a fellow Boy Scout get his Eagle Scout award.  He's collecting old shoes!  The old shoes are donated and the money is used to provide clean water to people in 3rd world countries.  There is a big metal barrel in the Gathering Space for your old shoes.  Please, look around your house and bring in your old shoes.  You'll be doing a good deed by helping people in need and assisting a Scout to achieve the rank of Eagle.  Thank you.

Hurry, Hurry, Hurry-Time is Running Out
