Red Nose Day - May 26
Red Nose Day (RND) is on a mission to lift kids out of poverty and has raised over $1 billion globally in the last 25 years. Half of the money will be spent right here in the U.S. The other half will be spent in some of the poorest communities in Latin America, Asia, and Africa. All money raised supports projects that ensure kids are safe, healthy, and educated. Some of the members of Houston, St. Luke's Chancel Choir and Acolytes shared their enthusiasm for Red Nose Day on Sun., May 15 and would like to challenge other choirs in our presbytery to pose for a photo, too. Go to www.rednoseday.org for more information.
