On Sunday afternoon, April 3, walkers from FPC and our friends from Grace and First Christian (with whom we had a fund-raising contest) participated in the CROP walk fund-raiser for Church World Service which has people on the ground in all the developing places in the world and works on hunger and poverty relief.

Twenty-five percent of all the funds earned at this event will stay here locally to benefit Sacred Heart Community Service and Second Harvest Food Bank.

BIG THANKS go to CROP Walk organizer Michele Hare who did a terrific job pulling our team together for the race and encouraging everyone to get walk sponsors in order to raise more money than our friends at First Christian and Grace Baptist.

Ben Daniel,) led by Pastor Sharon and Pastor Ben Daniel (Foothill Pres.) met for the walk. They talked about the Christian responsibilities for the poor, the hungry, social justice, etc, which was great. At a mile, it wasn't a long talk, but a good one!
