Chocolate Chat was about more than desserts tonight. We dealt with some serious and heavy stuff that needs to be heard. The silent cries of our brothers and sisters should be heard. They need our help and our prayers. Can you imagine not having clean water, food on your table or a place to call home? One would be bad enough, but all three? The cries of the 15 million orphans left behind because of AIDS break my heart. Have mercy on them God, have mercy.
We heard about Aggie's Arts tonight and bought some beautiful beads that 17 women in a Ugandan village made into necklaces and bracelets. Thanks to Cindy, Rhonda, Suzy and Molly for driving down from Oneonta with loads of beads. They would love to do some more presentations if anyone knows of a group that would be interested. Let me know and I'll put you in touch with Cindy.
Update: Aggie's Arts is receiving over $1000.00 thanks to many generous people in our church family! That is truly a blessing from a heaven.
ReplyDeleteSpecial thanks to everyone who came to the Chocolate Chat last Thursday. As the previous post says, my sister, Cindy will be able to send over $1000.00 to the ministry that she is so passionate about! She was overwhelmed and humbled by your response. I feel so blessed to be a part of such a wonderful group of women. Mt. Chapel women are awesome!
