Hear About Tanzania Trip

Gloria Dei’s four sojourners to Africa last fall will report of their experience at Sunday Forum on May 17. Three of the four were first-time visitors to the Kilengapasi church Gloria Dei supports and will share updates on programs there. They also met with six high school students that Gloria Dei members support with scholarships. Participants will have a chance to share their preferences for timing of the next trip to Tanzania in 2027. Sunday Forum meets at 9:30 a.m. in Fellowship Hall. Before and after the presentation, Gloria Dei’s Global Mission team will host a marketplace featuring items from Tanzania and Guatemala. Many of the items are made by those involved in projects developed for the disabled, abused women or single mothers. Come see their quality work. Guatemalan coffee will also be available. This is the final Sunday Forum of the 25-26 program year.
