Loading...Wells for Nicaragua
Beginning this past Lent, the people of the Church of the Nativity &
St. Stephen have been walking a watery path, growing in awareness of
our use of and need for this most basic of earthly elements. Inspired
by a significant, start-off gift from Tony and Ann Roland and guided
on their way by a unique calendar created by Marion Fluchere,
parishioners saved their pennies (and dollars) daily over the last 10
weeks in a “well” container.
“Jesus turned water into wine”, put in the price of your favorite wine
Our bodies are over 60% water; put in 60% of your weight in cents
Got rain? Put $1.00/inch in the well
Do you walk a mile to get water? If not, take a walk and put $1.00 in
the well
As the money grew, we grew in our appreciation of the easy and ready
availability of fresh, safe water. Over $5,000.00 has been raised
and will be sent to Episcopal Relief and Development to provide
funding for well (and attendant infrastructure) construction in
Nicaragua. Thanks be to God!
