Lutheran World Relief

From warm quilts to sweet chocolate, St. John's is an active supporter of Lutheran World Relief (LWR). Here are some of the ways that we support the work of the Lutheran church around the world:

• Quilters sent 138 warm quilts to Lutheran World Relief. Contact Arleen Ziemer if you would like to help.

• The Ruth Circle packed up your donations of personal health care items into 38 Health Kits for use in disaster areas.

• Members bought 360 bars of fair trade chocolate for Valentine's Day. Although the Ruth Circle suspects that many of you ate the chocolate before you got out of the parking lot.

• Many of us purchase gifts, jewelry, and food from the LWR Handcraft Project. This project supports craftspeople in developing countries.

• The congregation uses eco-palms purchased through LWR.

• Gifts to ELCA World Hunger Appeal help to support LWR.
