Grow In Faith To Serve...Christ
Change Purse EventDate: 5/12/2012 Time: 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM Location: Overholt Hall Change Purse Event
Please join us on Saturday, May 12th for an eye opening, informative event about the subject of Sex Trafficking here in our area and in the U.S.. The Event is being sponsored by Cross Points, and will be held from 11:00am to 1:00pm in Overholt Hall. It will include a potluck brunch, a Change Purse speaker, a short video and purse shopping. We are also asking people who have lightly used purses to please donate them to the Fundraiser for resale. (Please drop them in the designated box marked Change Purse, in the Lobby.) All proceeds from this event are given to faith-based organizations that work directly with potential and rescued victims, as well as survivors, of sex trafficking.
Don’t think it affects you?
