The Children & Youth Education Team has chosen to help support two specific needs of the Karen community. 1. The Karen children take “English as a Second Language” classes during the summer. The transportation cost is great and not covered by the public schools. The Global Offering from January 1 – June 1 went to help cover those costs. 2. Before refugees are set up with Ramsey County and receiving aid they need help with rent deposits, furniture, clothes, and food. The June 1 – January 31 Global Offering will be given to their fund that helps new refugees get established. If you would like more information on the Karen Community, please look at the bulletin board in the Fellowship Hall and watch for coming guest speakers on the Karen culture. If God puts it in your heart to financially support this cause, you can either put an offering in the Globe, which is set out during the offering each Sunday, or you may put your offering in the offering plate and mark it “Global Mission”. Money collected as of
