Guatemalan Solidarity Scarves and Sale

The Mission Committee is supporting the fundraising efforts of Suzanne Halverson and Pastor Lyle McKee to support their participation in the Solidarity Delegation going to three different communities in Guatemala in October. For the next several weeks, please look for their displays in the narthex where they have a variety of items available for purchase from Guatemala, including textiles, purses, computer bags and more.

In addition, Suzanne Halvorson is offering a very special opportunity to weave your own "Solidarity Scarf" on a loom set up at church. Six scarves are being made available to weave, with the demonstration/directions from Suzanne. Each scarf will cost $45 to make and all materials will be supplied in addition to the instructions. Scarves will take 2-3 hours total to create. Look for information in the weekly bulletin, in the narthex and from the church office.

We look forward to walking with our brothers and sisters in Guatemala with this Solidarity Delegation and learning more about the issues they face in their country and communities. Please support this effort either through one of the options above or through a donation if you can - thank you!
