Sunday School Registration –. Forms have been mailed or you can pick them up at church. 

Hodgepodge –“Reaching out to share Christ with all.” How is God calling you to “reach out” both inside and outside the congregation? How is God calling you to use your gifts to reach out to others? As one body with many members, God has given each of us different gifts and talents in order to complete the ministry we are called to do. Each of our gifts is important to helping our congregation to further its mission.

Personal Needs Kit item collection

comb

During the month of August, Halfway Creek will be collecting 100  nail clippers, toothbrushes, and combs  for the personal needs kits.  Collection boxes will be downstairs for these items.  We would also welcome any other small personal items.  Journey Lutheran is collecting the baby kit items. 

Lutheran World Relief asks that all items be new and without any religious, military, nationality, flags, or camouflage markings on them.  We will  spend a little while putting together personal health and baby kits. This lets us create a great assembly line, with great results.

Halfway will secure a grant for LWR Personal Needs Kits and collect nail clippers, toothbrushes, and combs.  Journey will find a grant for Baby Kits and supply the items, and Holmen will secure the food grant for and organize lunch, and the tents,  Halfway has secured a grant for other personal kit items.  

 It’s time to reeeeeaaaach out.   Project Promise Personal Care Kits are shared with people who have lost everything from a natural disaster or life-threatening violence.
