 COFFEE
PROJECT:
Deacons are
buying Fellowship Coffee from the Presbyterian Coffee Project so that
our after-worship fellowship has a three-fold purpose: our own church
fellowship and mission giving to fair-trade coffee farmers around the
world who use farming practices that also benefit the environment. If
you have been in the habit of buying coffee to donate to the fellowship
time, please refrain and instead donate the money you would spend to the
fellowship coffee can. If you would be willing to help by donating to
this very worthy cause, our coffee costs $32 every 6 weeks. Make checks
payable to EPC and on the memo line please indicate fellowship coffee.
If each family donated only once, we would have enough for about 6 years
if coffee.
Note: Fellowship Coffee is
now $8.00 per bag due to suppliers increase.
“And if you give
even a cup of cold water to one of the least of my followers, you
will surely be rewarded.”
Matthew 10:42
