COMMUNITY OUTREACH
Food Rescue
Love in Action = Care Kits
This Lent, we’re putting God’s love in action by making Lutheran World Relief Personal Care Kits. Across the globe, families have been suffering from compounding crises such as war, violence, natural disasters, disease and extreme weather. We want to announce to the world that Christ makes a new season possible: a Season of Hope. We’re excited to engage in this project as a community during our Lenten journey this year.
