Church of the Good Shepherd United Methodist in Oswego will be host to a walk/run to raise funds for clean water.
Reverend Steve Good, Good Shepherd pastor and walk co-captain with Nicole Devine, said the Church’s World Vision Global 6K for Water will begin at 9 a.m. Saturday, May 20, at Hudson Crossing Park in Oswego.
The route will go to Violet Patch Park and back to Hudson park.
The public is invited. Parking is free.
According to Pastor Good, World Vision is a Christian nonprofit that is the world’s largest provider of clean water outside of government entities.
He added, “We would love to have you and your family/friends be part of this transforming experience for yourself and for children and women in need of clean, accessible, life-transforming, water.
“It will be a memorable event where we can practice our faith by caring for those who can’t care for us.
“It will be empowering for us knowing that, with our efforts to bring clean water, it creates an environment that also generates health, jobs, security, and hope for the future.”
Water stations and portable toilets will be on the route.
Good Shepherd’s praise band, Reborn, will perform before and after the event.
Registration is $50 for adults, $25 for participants age 18 and under.
