Horn of Africa AppealDid you know about the famine in the Horn of Africa? Can you imagine 420,000 people living in a refugee camp and more arriving each day? Famine is a very real problem because of the lack of rain and the violence in that area. LWR (Lutheran World Relief) is a trustworthy organization that has been present in this refugee camp since 2008. They now have a goal of raising $300,000 in the next few months to help this area for Africa. Now the church council has a challenge for us!
What if we had a “$2 Sunday” on the second Sunday of the next several months with a goal of raising $300 each month for this cause? If every adult (and as many children as wanted) could give $2, then we could reach this goal! $757.95 has or will be sent to Lutheran World Relief for their work in a refugee camp. Our next noisy offering will be held on February 12. |
