Chickens Gifted for Christmas!
Our Adult Sunday School class donated enough money for the Presbyterian Mission Agency to purchase 7 families of chickens. “Chickens provide eggs for food, feathers for pillows and fertilizer for crops. By giving a family of chickens, you can help improve the food security and livelihoods of farmers and families around the world.” You may learn more at the following link https://presbyteriangifts.pcusa.org/
