Mayan Hands Craft Sale - May 18


Support a clean water system for the village of Yacheku, Mexico, and treat yourself to Mayan Crafts and Alternate Gift Cards.
Get a head-start on your Christmas shopping!


On May 18 St. John’s will host a Mayan Hands craft sale put on by ChristChurch. There will be a wide variety of interesting gifts: jewelry, woven baby blankets and bibs, purses and scarves, placemats, vases made from recycled glass, teak cutting boards, etc. These are fair-traded products made by Mayan women in Guatemala who have been weaving with the backstrap loom for more that 3000 years. 50% of the proceeds will fund the water purification installation in the Mayan village of Yacheku later this summer.


You will also have an opportunity to purchase parts for the water purification system itself such as PVC fittings for a dollar or so up to major parts such as the ozonator for $675 and even shares in the reverse osmosis unit for $24.


You can — buy a part and be a part —
of the pure water system for Yacheku, Mexico!


Come to the Mayan Hands Craft Sale, May 18 in the
walk-way before and after worship.
