LEARN ABOUT KENYA

Dear Friends,

While Paulette and I were at Indiana Yearly Meeting Sessions, we met a couple of Pastors from Kenya which has a very strong Quaker presence there. Friends Missionaries have worked very hard for many years to establish a strong Quaker influence there with many Yearly Meetings, Churches, Schools, and hospitals. These two gentlemen will be at Westfield Friends Church this coming Tuesday evening to speak and get us acquainted with their work. Part of our assessment goes toward the work there and this is a great opportunity to hear and meet these fine men. Below is the email invitation I received this morning from Westfield inviting us to attend. It would be great if we could have a good representation from Hinkle.


Your church family is invited!
Friends we wanted to invite local Friends to hear more about the work in Kenya.
I know this is rather short notice, but John and John were both available this Tuesday and it was too good an opportunity to pass up!
We would appreciate it if you could announce this during worship on Sunday.
All the best,
Candi McDonald

This sounds awesome! I would very much like to be there. So far being a part of IYM has been very rewarding! Feast of Faith, Doug's workshop and now this! And of course all of the great things you and Paulette experienced at the Yearly Meeting. Oh, and Jan coming this Sunday!
