July 25th to the 27th
30 Hour Famine
The youth group at the Vineyard Church are participating in a 30 hour famine.
It will be from the 25th to the 27th of July. The organization is World
Vision. The contributions go to feed the starving in the poverty stricken parts
of our world. $30.00 will feed one child for month. $1.00 will feed them for a
day. They will live in card board boxes and not eat for the that duration of
time. They want to have an idea of what it is like for them. This is done in
youth groups all over. We are asking that you help us make a difference.We do
have donation receipts....YOU can actually save a life of a child. You may ask,
what does it take for YOU not to be hungry all day? In short. Because of the
efforts like the 30 Hour Famine. Since 1992 the number of kids who die each day
because of hunger, disease, and poverty has dropped from 40,000 to 29,000. In
other words? YOU are making a difference. Join us? Please contact Angela Figy
(928) 646-5191 For donations. Make all checks payable to World Vision. And
thank you for caring. (928) 646-5191

A Lively Celebration of the Day of the Dead
Museum of Northern Arizona

The Museum comes to life for Dia de los Muertos or Day of the Dead, an ancient
Meso-American holiday held throughout Mexico, Latin America, and the Southwest.
Transforming grief into celebration, this ritual pays homage to the lives of
lost loved ones by inviting them back to enjoy their favorite music and foods,
and to honor their contributions in life. More than a dozen Flagstaff families
bring ofrendas (altars) from their homes to share in a courtyard exhibit,
illuminated by candles and luminarias. Learn how traditions evolved and the
meanings behind the objects on the ofrendas. Created in partnership with
Flagstaff Hispanic pioneers Nuestras Raices.
Festival admission: $7 adults, $6 seniors (65+), $5 students, $4 Native people,
$4 children (7–17)
