Hello There!
New Life Kids volunteers and staff are trying to go to the Orange Conference in April! We will have the opportunity to attend workshops like Reaching Tweens: Effectively Ministering to 4th-6th Graders, Off the Couch! Developing a Youth Leadership Culture, Successfully Partnering with Parents of Elementary Kids and How to Teach Preschoolers Spiritual Truth. But to get there, it can be quite expensive. So we will be selling coffee from Land of A Thousand Hills and other yummy treats to raise money for the conference.
We need to raise over $6,000 to get staff members and Volunteer Leaders to Atlanta, GA to attend The Orange Conference!
We'd love it if you'd show your support by purchasing a bag of coffee and/or a yummy treat. It would really encourage our team!
Also, by purchasing coffee you are supporting a great cause. We will be selling coffee from a company called Land of a Thousand Hills. This company started out dedicated to the rebuilding and reconciliation of war torn communities in Rwanda deeply affected by warring tribes and genocide. Land of a Thousand Hills pays a fair wage to the farmers of Rwanda, helps them with their basic needs, and brings a quality product to coffee lovers.
Now, Land of a Thousand Hills has reached beyond the borders of Rwanda to bring dignity and hope to Haiti, Thailand, and other parts of the globe. They partner with farmers and local community leaders to develop the coffee into a sustainable income, pay a just Living Wage, and strive to further meet the needs of the people.
So this month stop by our table in the lobby and purchase a bag of coffee for yourself and one to give as a gift and just for kicks pick up a yummy treat as well. In doing this you are supporting coffee communities in Rwanda, Haiti and Thailand as well as helping our New Life Kids Team get to the Orange Conference. Thanks for your continuous support!
Here are the dates to look out for in February:
- Sunday, February 10 (After all three services)
- Sunday, February 17 (After all three services)
- Sunday, February 27 (After all three services)
Here's a video about the coffee you will be purchasing and how it helps people across the globe:
