Crop Walk The CROP Hunger Walks are community fundraising events sponsored by the Church World Service (CWS), an international relief, development, and refugee resettlement agency. Money raised by CROP nationwide is used by CWS to provide food, medical care, disaster relief, and self-help development for needy people around the world. This coming Sunday, May 20th, is our local 1 and 4 mile Walk in St. Joseph and Benton Harbor. The Sunday School will also participate in the Mini CROP Walk around Baroda. And remember, if our Sunday School raises $250 there is an anonymous donor who will match those funds! Prayerfully consider giving to the Crop Walk this year. Six local hunger-alleviating agencies benefit with 25% of the funds raised. Sign up sheets are available in the Narthex
