ELCA Anniversary Celebration at St. Thomas

A BIG thank you to everyone who supplied items for the personal care kits and who helped assemble them Sunday, as we marked the 25th anniversary of the ELCA together! With you help we assembled 78 kits, far exceeding our best guesses - thank you!!






We had a wonderful intergenerational experience, with people a wide variety of people supplying items for the kits. Then on September 8, every child in the Sunday School put together a kit, as well as members of the congregation, Pastor Lyle and youth group. Thank you to the Mission Endowment Fund for assistance with the shipping costs to Lutheran World Relief. The kits are sent all over the world to help people in need, such as immediately after natural disasters.
