On March 3, Mike Barbee, WASH (Water, Sanitation, Hygiene) Technical Officer of UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief), spoke about the desperate need for clean water globally and the consequences of unclean water during the WATER We Gonna Do About It? event at First United Methodist Church in Windsor, Colorado. He also illustrated UMCOR’s role in improving the standard of living throughout the world by working with communities on water, air, sanitation, and hygiene issues.
For months before the event, Jesus’ hands and feet were moving under God’s guidance in preparation for WATER We Gonna Do About It? at First UMC of Windsor. The event was designed for the churches of the Peaks Sub-District to increase awareness of the need for clean water globally and to help people realize that each of us CAN do something to help. Refreshments were provided by United Methodist Women.
During the event, participants rotated through three different interactive sessions.
