CropHunger Walk Final and Thanks

On October 7, after a morning service of worship that saw three choirs, three congregations and three clergy-folk converge on our church for an hour of really good worship celebrating our similarities and unity, and highlighting our important differences, we headed for the country lanes and took a three-mile walk to raise money for Church World Service and their continuing efforts to end hunger in our world.  Their work is global all while remaining local.  Indeed they live and breathe and work what we expressed on that World Communion Sunday morning, a real unity not just in spite of differences, but precisely because the range of humanity is so beautifully rich.
The weather was cool and somewhat inclement, but we had more walkers than in many years past — approximately 30 people walked!  We had folks from all three churches, plus a few more here in Waterbury, we had students from Crossett Brook Middle School and some of them brought their parents.  It was an enjoyable afternoon.  AND we raised $3221. 
Well done! and thank you to everyone who walked or donated. Your spirit is beautiful.
