Book Drive for Malawi, Africa

The Mission Committee was made aware of a need in Malawi Africa. The following is some information about a children’s book drive that the Mission Committee has voted on to support. It was sent by good friends of Pastor Cathy who are Joann Schmidt and Roy Schwarz. There is a bookshelf in the front entryway to drop off your donations. Pastor Cathy will deliver the books downstate in June so hopefully we will have a nice collection to send. Monetary donations are also being accepted to help defray the costs for shipping the books to Malawi so this would be another way to support the book drive if you don’t have books.
