Bread for the World

In the next few months, Hanover members have an opportunity to influence poverty in this country and for some years into the future.  The Faith in Action committee, under the leadership of Jack Brand, is planning activities to inform and offer an avenue for action to influence Congress as it considers welfare reform.  Look for a Minute for Mission, some short educational materials, a video viewing, and a letter writing clinig.  If you have questions, contact the office.  658-5114 

The Presbyterian Coffee Project is a new way to help people in need while enjoying fellowship and an excellent cup of coffee.  Presbyterian congregations that participate are supporting fair trade--practices which comoplement our mission with farmers in Latin America, Africa and Asia, as well as our commitment to stewardship of the natural environment.

Congregations participate simply by ordering fairly traded coffee!  In your congregation, a women's group, youth group, mission committee or peace and justice committee might sponsor this project.  As your congregation enjoys this high-quality coffee, take time to learn about its impact on the people who grow it.  Read about coffee farmers, discuss issues of justice in the global marketplace and take action in the spirit of love.  For more information on how you can help, please ask Alice Davis.
