We wrapped up our Spirituality and the Arts summer worship services with Haitian artist Sophia Domeville as our featured speaker accompanied by Esther Thomas. Our special “5th Sunday” donee was Fonkoze, which is made up of three organizations that work together to help rural Haitians — primarily women — receive financial services like micro-loans and non-financial services in the form of education, healthcare and other support to lift their families out of poverty.
