CROP WALK

2nd Baptist Church

of Bowdoinham

Bringing the Truth and Love of God into our Community and World through the lives of committed and growing Followers of Jesus Christ

CROP WALK

This year's Walk was held on Sunday, September 23, 2007

at Mailly Waterfront Park, Bowdoinham at 12:00 noon.

"We Walk Because They Walk"

This year Bowdoinham and some 2,000 cities and towns nationwide joined together in interfaith community CROP Hunger Walks around the theme "We walk because they walk." Many of the CROP Walkers displayed this theme on T-shirts, buttons and signs proclaiming their solidarity with the millions of neighbors around the world who have to walk to live -- as well as with the millions served by local food pantries, food banks, and meal sites here in the U.S. These local ministries share in the funds raised by CROP Hunger Walks.

This was Bowdoinham's third year of walking and it was our biggest to date - we raised over $1500.00! "Thank You" to all who walked, raised money or donated.
