The
Festival of Sharing is a yearly event sponsored by the West Ohio
Conference at the Clark County Fairgrounds. On one Saturday a year
several thousand United Methodists come together to share in fun,
food, fellowship and worship. It is designed to collect money to
support programs that minister to the needs of the hungry and
homeless.
Food and money raised during the
year for many ministries are reported at the Festival. Many programs
are listed including the Hunger Network in Ohio, the Potato Project,
Interfaith Hospitality Network, Habitat for Humanity, Volunteers in
Mission, Bread for the World, Church World Service/CROP, Heifer
Project International, Bishops’ Appeal for Africa, Defiance District
Corn Project, and Grace Children’s Hospital.
Our church supports the
Enon Emergency Relief and
Interfaith Hospitality Network during the year. In addition we
also make up Health, School, and Baby Kits for use by Church World
Service and take them to the Festival. You can help with any of the above projects
by contacting our Outreach Chairpersons or the
Minister.
