“The Rest of the Story”—around the world with WorldCrafts

Come for a preview of our church-wide WorldCrafts fair which is to be held the last Sunday in September. On Thursday morning, September 8, Women on Mission will learn “the rest of the story” as they view beautiful products from many countries, learn of the artisans who hand-crafted the items, and pray for these women in many lands who are able to earn a living and at the same time learn about God’s love. We will meet at 10 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall and also have an opportunity to sample special treats from each continent. Come be a part of the WorldCrafts story.
