Project
The Board of Social Action and Outreach and the Board of
Christian Education have launched the Penny Project
at Christ Congregation. The purpose of the project is to raise
awareness of the extent of child poverty throughout the United States, and
support for programs and ministries responding to the needs of children in
poverty in our area. The goal is to raise 14 million pennies nationwide by next
April, representing the number of children living in poverty in the United
States. There will be a container available in the fireplace room during
refreshment time for folks to contribute their pennies (other coins are also
gratefully accepted). All funds raised will be used to support local ministries
that involve children in need.
 We help support-encourage a young lady from the African nation of Togo by
the name of Magnoudewa. She will celebrate her 12th birthday at the end of
December. Recently we received a letter from her, written in French. We want to
encourage people to write letters in return, especially our
youngsters. Blessings, Jeff The Rev. Jeffrey W. Mays Pastor Christ Congregation 50 Walnut Lane Princeton, NJ 08540 http://sites.google.com/site/christcongprinceton/home 609-921-6253 www.ccprinceton.org November 15, 2009  On November 8, Trevor was baptized.
