This holiday season, as thoughts turn to the joyful spirit of giving, consider including Heifer International (HI), whose core principle is ending hunger and poverty around the world. HI’s strategic focus on empowering women multiplies these gifts many times over as they share the rewards of self-reliance with their children, families and communities.

To help further the good works of HI, here at Mill Creek we will again be offering a great alternative gift idea. Stop by the HI table in the gathering space after church service on Sunday December 3rd or 10th for more information.

Here you can chose to honor your friends or family by “buying” symbolic animals, animal shares or even trees in their name and then select a Holiday card to let them know. Your donations will then be used by HI to help families by providing them with sustainable means of supporting themselves.

​If you’d like more information on HI please visit www.heifer.org or contact Lauri Rickard.
