Noblesville First United Methodist Church member Joseph Chimbanda, originally from Angola, has written a book titled Enduring Hardships about the struggles he and his family faced when fleeing the country during its civil war.
Now, he, his wife Ana, and their five children have started a scholarship to benefit children in Angola, and the ladies of the church want to help.
The ladies of the United Methodist Women’s (UMW) Lydia Circle at Noblesville First United Methodist Church will hold a “Steppin’ Up to Help” line dancing fundraiser from 6:30 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 27 in Celebration Hall. Enter through Doors 2,7 of the church, located at 2051 Monument St., Noblesville. All are welcome and no experience is necessary. Come join the fun and learn some new steps.
A free-will offering will be collected which will benefit the Chimbanda Scholarship Fund to help youth attend post-secondary school in their native country of Angola.
For more information about the scholarship, go to hopeforangola.org/education. Bring cash or checks made out to “Advancing the Gospel in Angola” with “Chimbanda Scholarship Fund” on the memo line on the night of the event. You can also click here to make an online donation.
