Do you want to make a difference this Advent? Would you like to be a blessing, and make a gift or gifts that help people in sustainable and last ways? If you wish to serve God this way this Advent, we can help you. We’re teaming up with Lutheran World Relief this year to be a blessing to those in need.
LWR Giving Tree
Please note the LWR Giving Tree in the church entryway. On the tree are cut-out ornaments that highlight different kinds of gifts that you can choose to make to help people in need. But these gifts are designed to be helpful on ongoing sustainable ways.
So how does this work?
- Pick out the ornament with the project that you wish to support. (You can pick more than one).
- Take the ornament home and follow the simple instructions on the back regarding how to make your gift online or by phone.
- Color the ornament. Yes we mean this. With crayons, markers, etc. Have some fun!
- Bring the ornament back to church and hang it on the tree. That way we will know that this project has been gifted.

Please note that we are not taking up a special offering or collection. Any gift that you are moved to make toward an LWR project will be made directly by you. You can find even more information at lwrgifts.org.
