Lutheran World Relief Collection
Social Ministry would like to thank everyone for donations to Lutheran World Relief. Thanks to you, we were able to supply School Kits, Personal Care Kits and Quilts for those in need.
It seems that each year the need for these items increases due to natural disasters or war.
Our prayer is that God will lead you to continue to help us help others. Each year supply costs increase and we do everything we can to make our dollars stretch to the max.
Social Ministry collects for LWR year round and if you would like to help shop for items, please see a Social Ministry member for a list of supplies.
Thank you and God bless.
