Shop and Share Sunday, October 30 On Sunday, October 30 and November 6, the FUMC Guatemala Missions team will be selling handcrafted items made by the Pokomaya Cooperative. Guided and empowered by Hope of the Pokomchi, this cooperative of Mayan women create beautiful purses, bags, aprons and more from traditional fabrics. The money earned from their sales increases their meager family incomes and gains them respect in the community. Don’t miss this opportunity to purchase one- of- a -kind gifts and bless our sisters in Guatemala at the same time.
