Get Your Feet Ready . . .

Our Pastoral Staff and Leadership TEAM will be ministering and preaching barefoot (06.13.10) and we are asking that everyone else to also join us and come to church barefoot . . .

Experience a life without shoes first-hand to help spread awareness of the impact a single pair of shoes can bring to a child's life.

Did You Know . . .
  1. In some developing nations, children must walk for miles to school, to get clean water, and to seek medical attention.
  2. Cuts and sores on feet can lead to serious infection.
  3. Often children cannot attend school barefoot.
  4. In Ethiopia approximately one million people are suffering from podoconiosis, a debilitating and disfiguring disease caused by walking barefoot in volcanic soil.
  5. Podoconiosis is 100% preventable with basic foot hygiene and wearing shoes.
  6. Over 100 million children do not own a single pair of shoes!!
We are asking everyone to bring a new pair of children's close-toed shoes (preferably sneakers) sizes 10-4, to church with them on . . .
Sunday, June 13th for our 10:30 AM service.
HELP US BRING COMFORT AND SMILES TO AS MANY CHILDREN AS POSSIBLE!!
