$26,702.19 was the total of offerings<\/strong> that were taken up during the five worship services, to benefit the work of the Church of the Brethren denomination:
$2,452 on Monday evening,
$4,113.25 on Tuesday evening,
$6,351.55 on Wednesday evening,
$8,736.39 on Thursday evening, and

$5,960 was raised by the 120-some walkers and runners<\/strong> who participated in the early morning fundraising walk around Lake Junaluska to benefit Twa education in the Great Lakes region of central Africa. The walk was sponsored and organized by Brethren Benefit Trust. The Church of the Brethren Global Mission and Service office will distribute the funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1,000 hygiene kits<\/strong> were assembled for Church World Service (CWS) to be distributed via the Brethren Service Center in New Windsor, Md. Some 70 people put the kits together as one of the NOAC service projects. The Southern Ohio and Kentucky District disaster team organized the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1,719 children\u2019s books<\/strong> were donated by NOACers to Junaluska Elementary School, and a busload of participants went to the school to read to children as one of the afternoon service projects. Libby Kinsey was a main leader for the effort. Some 30 or more people read to the school\u2019s 465 children. \u201cThe great thing about your group is just the kindness that you had,\u201d said principal Alex Moscarelli when the books were presented to him and his staff on Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
