This is a project of the Mennonite Central Committee whose inten- tion is to meet human need in the name of Christ. It is a community effort in New Hamburg, supported by many of the residents from other groups and churches. There are people who give two years of their time to come to New Hamburg and work 40 hours a week for a small living allowance. Unpacking, pricing and laundering must be done, as well as the administration. A year ago Beth and her husband Paul went on a group trip to the Philippines, In- donesia and Thailand to meet the people who produce the crafts. She showed pictures of the trip and the people. There are 30,000 families living a better life because they can sell their crafts. Manila has a wonderful marketplace, but they also saw the extreme poverty of 5,000 families who exist by living on and foraging in the city dump. They visited the Dorcas cottage in- dustries, run by the Dutch Reformed Church and a Mennonite church group in In- donesia. In Bangkok they saw the wealth of people who had everything, and others who live in slums. There are still refugees in Thailand waiting to be accepted in other countries. They also visited an island leprosy colony where they saw wonderful wood carvings done with hammer and chisel, no fine tools. Crocheting, sewing, nad and machine em- broidery is done with amazing speed and skill. The homes of the people were clean and their families were very•important and well looked after. On the last Saturday in May each year, there is a huge sale of crafts in New Ham- burg. It would be an interesting event to attend. President Joan Beierling welcomed the visitors, and Joyce Dowson, Barb Consitt and Barbara Ann Parker led in worship. Barbara Ann and her mother, Marilyn Phillips, sang two duets. Several members portrayed the people involved in Jesus' crucifixion, by expressing the thoughts they may have had at the time. Mildred McAsh was the organist, and Rev. Sam Parker gave the benediction. A social hour was en- joyed following the service.
