TODAY we are collecting Mites for the LWML Mission Grants. You can help spread the Gospel around the world by contributing to the mission goal. The large mite box is in the narthex. Thank you.
Flood Relief in Iowa and Nebraska- Our hearts are broken as we see the destruction caused by the recent flooding. President Turner and I have been contacting pastors in the affected areas asking how the district can help. We have also been in contact with the Nebraska District office and with the leaders of disaster response with our LCMS.
The first rule in a disaster response is to NOT collect items until we know exactly what is needed. At this point (March 21), we need to wait until the water recedes and the needs are assessed. We will coordinate efforts with the Nebraska District and LCMS Disaster Response. At this point, the best way to respond is to send donations that will be used when the needs are assessed.
Donations can be directed to: Iowa District West-Flooding and sent to: Iowa District West, 409 Kenyon Road, Suite B, Fort Dodge, IA 50501
Please contact me with questions, concerns, or when you hear of individuals and/or communities who need help with flood relief.
Ellie Menz, IDW Disaster Response Coordinator (515) 370-1159
