The 2012 Confirmation class is raising funds to help with third world water issues: 884 million people lack access to clean water; that’s one in eight people. Their fundraising efforts will go to water.org, a secular organization whose goal is to help people in developing countries obtain safe drinking water and basic sanitation (toilets). The Confirmation class is holding a walk-a-thon on Monday, May 28th and they estimate they can cover approximately 10 miles in 5 hours. Please consider sponsoring one of the students by donating to this important cause through Community Covenant Church in one of two ways: online (via credit card or PayPal) or by check. You can donate online by going to the “Give” link on this website. Be sure to note “Confirmation 2012 water.org” on the online donation entry or on your check made out to “Community Covenant Church.”

Please check out the Mount Hermon website by clicking on the header above.  This is a wonderful opportunity that is coming to our own back yard!

Dates: June 1-3
Speaker: Mark Labberton
Musician: Justin McRoberts
Youth Speaker: Zach Hunter

The rates are all posted on the website: www.mounthermon.org/humantrafficking . There is a special “no housing” rate that is not yet on the website. For the whole weekend it is $124 per person and for Saturday only it is $64 per person.

This weekend will be very much what we think of as a “Traditional” retreat. 4 general sessions with a speaker and worship, recreation options, and meals included. It will also be a time of education and training as we will have 4 seminar times with 5 options being offered in each time slot. It’s a great weekend for people who want to learn more about human trafficking in the beautiful setting that Mount Hermon offers. It is our hope that people will walk away from this conference not only with a greater knowledge about the issue, but also with very practical and applicable steps for how they can be involved in the fight against human trafficking.

Please contact Pastor Dawn or Karyl Erickson if you are planning to go or have further questions.
