CROP Observance
Is Set for Sunday
CROP, the Christian Rural
Overseas Program, will be observ
ed in the Baptist and Methodist
churches and possibly other
church as well, Sunday, Novem
ber 13.
CROP is an appeal of the Prot
estant Churches of America, origi
nating in the grateful hearts of
people in a land of abundance.
| Through the merging of individ
ual efforts into a pattern of ef
fective service, QROP becomes
a means of dealing with mass
poverty and persistent hunger.
Need today reveals itself as a
dweller in a makeshift home on a
hillside in Hongkong, to refugees
in Greece and Germany, to or
phans in India, widows in Korea,
the aged in Italy, the infirm in
Pakiston, and children in the Near
East. It is this, and much more,
multiplied a million times. CROP
will mean much more to Zebulon
now that we know the foods and
money will go right into the coun
tries of some of the international
students who visited us this past
weekend. Then too, the clothes
collected by our young people on
October 30 will go to Church
World Service, New Windsor,
Maryland, the same organization
through which CROP is channeled.
