Hi Ellie from Trinity Glenwood -
We were honored to adopt two ladies from Hurricane Katrina. We had two
groups from our church participate.
The Youth Group (6th grade-High School) had a bake sale at our annual Bazaar in November. Part of their proceeds went to adopt a member of Village Lutheran Church in Lacombe. We purchased a Wal-Mart gift card and each youth member handmade a Christmas card during our meeting and enclosed our gift with those.
The Sunday School PreK-8th grade donated all of their offerings given from September-December to adopt another member of Village Lutheran Church. Even the youngest of the children knew about Hurricane Katrina from watching the
news on television. We explained that our offerings were going to help
someone who lost their home.
We learned about this mission opportunity from attending the Jr. High Youth Convention in Des Moines in November.
We have not heard back from these two people. I am hoping they did receive their gifts.
God Bless you for all you do!
Jackie Hembry
