“DEAR RCWM WOMEN, Thank you so much for sending the offering for the ‘Children in Covenant’ fund.  It is greatly appreciated and will be used to benefit inner city children involved in our ministry.  Specifically, it will go toward funding a child to attend summer day camp.  It’s so important to provide children a safe place in the summer where children can learn about Jesus.  So thanks to all who contributed for helping make it possible!  So good to be in touch with you! 

                                                Blessings, Linda Cotton”
