The people affected by the recent hurricanes - Harvey in Texas and Irma in Florida - are still in our thoughts and prayers. We ask that the Lord continue to keep them in his care.
We set aside two Sundays to gather an offering to send to WELS Christian Aid and Relief to help with the aftermath of the destruction. This organization supports the efforts of the local congregations and works with them to determine what is needed and to distribute it where it is necessary.
The total from the two weekends at St. John was $850. That amount does not include some members who donated directly to the Synod Office. Thank you to all for your generosity. May our gracious God bless this effort.
