Heifer Sunday!

March 5, 2026

March 15

Pigs, and chicks, and goats … oh my!!! Heifer is back!

On Sunday, March 15th, join us on after worship in the Dining Hall for Fair Trade coffee, snacks and fun activities.

Once again, a multigenerational team of volunteers has come together to help make this event happen. This year’s Marketplace booths will include plants, sheep/alpacas, bees, goats, pigs, chicks, fair trade coffee and clean water, and of course, heifers.

Each booth at our Marketplace represents a Heifer International program that invests in communities, giving families the resources needed to thrive.

In addition to learning how Heifer works to help end hunger and poverty, you will have the opportunity to make a donation to support Heifer’s work.

For more information about Heifer International visit the Heifer website at https://www.heifer.org/our-work

If you have questions, or would like to lend a hand, please reach out to the church office at office@churchofreading.org.…
