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 . . .
- In some developing nations, children must walk for miles to school, to get clean water, and to seek medical attention.
- Cuts and sores on feet can lead to serious infection.
- Often children cannot attend school barefoot.
- In Ethiopia approximately one million people are suffering from podoconiosis, a debilitating and disfiguring disease caused by walking barefoot in volcanic soil.
- Podoconiosis is 100% preventable with basic foot hygiene and wearing shoes.
- 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!!
