relief development peace
MCC Alberta NewsSunshine, great food and Christian fellowship were all features of the annual MCC Relief Sale, held in Didsbury June 12 and 13. Hard work from many volunteers and generosity of those attending the Sale resulted in over $160,000 raised for the international ministries of MCC. The Sale included diverse attractions like bike, walk and motorcycle-a-thons (raised $18,500), Penny Power (raised $20,000), food booths selling favourites like verenika, farmer !sausage, spring rolls and shoefly pie, arts & crafts, Ten Thousand Villages booth, treadmill walk and more. Featured at the live action were the gorgeous handcrafted quilts, metal and woodwork items, as well as the sale of a candle symbolising hope for people all over the world, and a tractor auctioned in memory of long-time Sale enthusiast Hilton Mierau. 675 people passed through the Sale doors on Friday and Saturday’s attendance numbered 1,100 (lots of younger & older people involved!). Thanks to all that came and to the hundreds who volunteered so much time to make this happen!
