SOLES
4 SOULS: The
Witness Commission is participating in a mission to collect shoes of all types
and sizes (no high heels please) to be donated to several countries around the
world. Abby Fohringer spoke to a group
of people in Juniata County about her goal of collecting 15,000 “soles” by end
of this year to reach her goal of 25,000 and to visit one of the countries
where these shoes will be delivered in 2019. Totes will be located at entrance of the church and the side door. If you are willing to donate some of your
slightly worn shoes, I ask that you rubber band them together in pairs for easy
sorting. Contact Kathy Stimely if you have
any questions. Thank you!
