Each year during Advent the children and youth of our
church conduct an Advent Appeal. In years past, the funds raised have gone
to Project Angel, Southern Louisiana Presbytery for hurricane relief, and
our own Young Children’s Space renovation to name a few. This year funds
raised will go towards purchasing animals from Heifer International. Heifer
International’s philosophy is based on long-term sustainable economic
development to end hunger around the

world. $20 can buy a flock of chicks; $60, a trio of rabbits; $150, a
llama; and $500, a heifer. This year children and youth will be asked to
donate their own funds to help this cause. Envelopes will be available in
their Christian Education classrooms in which to place their contributions.
Additional donations can be made during the Christmas Eve family service and
by sending checks to PPC with Advent Appeal written in the memo line. Check
