The early Christian church had a spirit in common with our community as you read in Acts 2:44 & 45: "And all those who had believed were together, and had all things in common; and they began selling their property and possessions, and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need."
Thanks to all who gave of their time, money, and possessions to assist one among us who had a need. Over $7,000 has been given at this time, with matching funds still to be applied for. Aid Association for Lutherans will apply for all funds to be matched with at least $1,000 to be matched. It is possible that more will be matched by AAL, but this will not be known until so0metime in November. Lutheran Bortherhood will apply for a match of $300.
It is an amazing thing to watch people come together around a need and give so generously. God has indeed blessed our community with a generous spirit and a willing heart.
Pastor Gillam
Thank You!
