THANK YOU for your generous donations to LCMS Disaster Response tornado relief. We were able to donate $1040. With Thrivent matching funds, our final donation to LCMS Disaster Response will total $1560.
SUMMER MISSION PROJECT: During July and August, we will be accepting donations of school and craft supplies, socks, and underwear for children in need in Niagara Falls. School supplies will be distributed directly to students by their teachers at Harry Abate Elementary School as they identify those who truly need assistance. The nurses at the school are always thankful for our donation of socks and underwear that help them meet the basic needs their students may have. Craft supplies will support Potter’s Field, as they meet with and mentor high risk children who do not have a stable adult in their life. Please watch for sales and remember this project as you do your shopping this summer.
JULY MISSION ENVELOPES are designated for EIGHT DAYS OF HOPE (EDOH). This is a volunteer Christian organization that works throughout the United States to serve those affected by natural and human disasters. Their trained Rapid Response Teams have boots on the ground within 2-3 days and remain for a minimum of EIGHT DAYS, sharing the love of Christ, cleaning debris, salvaging personal belongings, and providing up to 8000 meals as well as shower and laundry facilities with their mobile trailers. They also work in depressed areas, donating repair work for homeowners in need. They responded to BUFFALO after the TOPS mass shooting, and will be back in Buffalo this month to assist families still dealing with the after effects of this tragedy. To support EDOH, place your mission envelope in the offering plate during July or donate online, choosing “Monthly Mission”.
COFFEE HOUR HELP: There are still openings in July and August to help with our coffee hour. If you are able, please sign up on the glass case to provide a snack that we can share as we enjoy this opportunity for fellowship after worship each week.
