Next weekend, August 13/14, there will be a special collection taken up for Africa, which is suffering through the worst drought in 60 years. It is estimated that nearly 11 million people in Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia are in need of food, water and medical care. Donations will be forwarded to Development and Peace, which has an organization in place that will ensure that your donations get to those in need. The Government of Canada has pledged to match all monies raised through this collection. You will find special envelopes attached to this bulletin and more will be available at the entrance of the church next weekend.
