Toilets for Haiti. Region One is spearheading a campaign for each of the 19 churches to raise $1700 to build a new toilet system for the school attached to Notre Dame Cathedral. Currently there is one latrine for 300 people – and that one is decrepit. For $32,000 we can build that system which will reduce disease (cholera) and improve sanitation. Throw your contributions in the toilet today and support this worthwhile project.
“Feasting with Jesus” continues March 14th at 6pm. This week is the Todah Feast. Come understand Jesus in his own time.
Please consider donating to the Tools for the Sudan Project, a Region One project. Buy an agricultural or fishing tool from the shopping cart on the bulletin board or online. (churchsp.org/toolsforthesudan). We are up over the $3,000 mark – thank you!
