Giving in 2024

Beyond support of our 2024 Budget ($179,787 is what we envision spending this year) are those  opportunities for special giving on behalf of others. They include:

  • ELCA World Hunger Appeal (meeting international, national, and local hunger and poverty needs
    • $562 received to date in 2024;
  • Lutheran Charities Appeal (assisting three local social ministry organizations – KenCrest Services, Lutheran Settlement House, and Gemma Services – that serve thousands of neighbors in need
    • $272 received to date in 2024.
  •  Mission Offering (For January – June we have selected Loaves and Fishes, Capetown, South Africa, suggested by Pastor Bob Holum after he had occasion to visit and interact there. It is a shelter facility and social ministry that works with homeless people to provide “spiritual, psychological, and material renewal”.)
    • $255 received to date in 2024.
