CHURCHES CAN HELP GENERATE INTEREST

We are asking Churches to help generate interest and excitement as we are getting ready for the Sale.  Are you wired to be able to show short DVDs that promote the work of MCC during your Sunday morning service?  Elizabeth Janssen at the MCC Office in Freeman has materials that promote the work of MCC.  Are you collecting Pennies for MCC?  If not, come up with a way to generate interest to include all ages in raising funds to help feed the hungry.  NOW is the time to be starting on the 90 items Churches can do for MCC’s 90 years of relief effort!
