Water Fair Raises $600

What a beautiful day we had for our Sunday School Mission Project Water Fair! Our Sunday School and Vacation Bible School children organized a Water Fair to raise awarenesss and money for clean water projects overseas. There was fun with water everywhere, from the sprinkler, to the water balloon games, build-a-filter table, wet sponge races and wishing well donations. The big hit was the dunk tank, where brave volunteers took the plunge for a good cause.

The event raised $600 which will be donated to The Water Project and to the UMCOR Clean Water/Sanitation Advance. Donations to The Water Project will assist in building a well in a needy community in Kenya or India. Several families are continuing the fundraiser by taking the Water Challenge. They have pledged to not buy any bottled water or other luxury consumer beverages for two weeks and donate the savings to the fundraiser.
