A Special Gift from Japan Church members and students in the kindergarten and elementary school of the Hyogo Matsumotodori United Church of Christ in Kobe, Japan, folded 1000 paper cranes and sent them to Met-Duane. Representatives of Met-Duane delivered the cranes to a nearby fire house. Origami cranes have a special significance in Japan. Our Pastor's book, One Thousand Paper Cranes, explains this special significance. |
