West Parish Congregational Church Holds Haiti-a-Thon
The Sunday School group of the West Parish Congregational Church, UCC, in Bethel, held a "Haiti-a-Thon" in March. The children sponsored a collection of items for Church World Service Hygiene Kits. They put collection boxes in the church and at a few locations in town. The overnight "Haiti-a-Thon" raised money to complete the kits and for the shipping. At the event the children ate a simple meal of rice and beans, built shelters for sleeping and learned more about Haiti.
