HAVE YOU THOUGHT about running or walking for Team World Vision?  We would LOVE to have you with us as we bring clean water to communities in need in underdeveloped countries.  The images and the thought of children and people suffering for lack of clean water and those joyful images of those who have received the gift of clean water from World Vision is why we do this.  Consider participating by running (or walking) a Half or running a Full Marathon – or supporting Team World Vision by contributing to an individual runner or the team.  We will participate in the Indy Monumental Marathon on November 6.  We would love to have you help build our team. You can register at teamworldvision.org (search American Reformed Church once on the site) or contact the church office for info on registration.
