Church World Service
A personal note of thanks from the Director of Church World Service --
“I do not cease to give thanks for you as I remember you in my prayers.” Eph. 1:16
We live in challenging economic times, which makes your support for Church World Service all the more valuable! So, as we prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving, I give th...anks for you. Without your efforts, the life-saving work of Church World Service could not continue.
Your contributions, whether as a participant in a CROP Hunger Walk or as a donor to CWS, are crucial ingredients in realizing the mission of CWS: to build a world where there is enough for all. On this Thanksgiving Day, let us recommit ourselves to that hope!
May you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Yours in service,
Rev. John L. McCullough
Executive Director and CEO
Church World Service
P.S. I'd like to share with you my personal reflection for this season and--while Thanksgiving is a uniquely American holiday--two prayers from international colleagues that capture for me the spirit of the occasion. Please feel free to share them at your table.
