HEIFER INTERNATIONAL

IN HONOR OF
WORLD HUNGER EDUCATION:
THE YOUTH OF GOD’S GARDEN
ARE HAVING AN
ART EXHIBIT!

The children of God’s Garden have been encouraged to use the arts to communicate to the congregation this message of ending world hunger. This message can often be intellectually challenging. I feel the youth will rise to the occasion. The youth will be creating Heifer posters in church school.

The artwork will then be presented at the Heifer Exhibit on Youth Sunday. The opportunity to purchase the artwork as a fund raiser will also take place, proceeds to go to Heifer International. We invite the congregation to visit and enjoy the exhibit with open hearts and be part of the fund raiser!
