On Sunday, November 28^th, 2010, the Global Mission Team will be holding another letter writing campaign during our Adult Education Hour (10-11am) in the Neumann Center. Our purpose is to continue our support for the Bread for the World organization whose intention and goal is to  encourage our nation's decision makers to end hunger both domestically and internationally through public policy legislation. For the year of 2010, Bread for the World has taken up the challenge of strengthening Child Nutrition programs here in the U.S. through school breakfast and lunch programs, WIC, and other such endeavors. The letter writing can be simple and to the point and will be mailed out by the Global Mission Team once the letters are completed. Please join us for this important task. See a sample of a typical letter.
