Gratitude Lunch for Palestinian Olive Oil Purchases, March 21

Westmoreland Congregational Church on March 21, noon.

Belated thanks to all who bought Palestinian Olive Oil during Advent.

St. Mark’s purchased 293 bottles of olive oil, contributing $8,790 to the fund for Humanitarian Support of Gaza. Our supplies come from a group at Westmoreland Congregational Church that manages Palestinian olive oil sales to a network of 33 churches in the DMV. St. Mark’s sold more than any of the other churches.

The great news is that the Olive Oil Ministry grossed $90,000 in sales this year, enabling them to send $36,000 to humanitarian work in Gaza.

A potluck lunch at Westmoreland Congregational Church on Saturday, March 21st, at noon will be an opportunity to hear more about the ministry and an updated report on humanitarian work in Gaza.

Please contact Karen Getman if you would like to attend.
