Haiti As part of the recovery effort for Haiti, the LCMS in
partnership with the Haitian Lutheran Church has taken on a
model that not only provides housing, churches, and medical
care but also strives to build the faith community of our partner
church in Haiti.
Last Lent we provided funding for two homes and
through our LWML partial funding for a church in the
community of Beaudrouin.
Facilities in the three Lutheran Villages were dedicated in January of this year.
This Lent we intend to fund a third home in the community of Beaudrouin. The cost of
the two-bedroom home with a bathroom is $10,000.
How will we fund this home?
o We will designate all of our Wednesday evening offerings.
o We also encourage those who might miss a Wednesday to designate extra gifts for the
project on Sundays.
o We are 66% of our way toward our goal after our three Wednesday Lenten offerings of
$6, 672.77. Thank You!
When we hit the $10,000 mark all Midweek offerings will then go to the General Fund as
they normally would. If there are designated gifts that still come in, we will ask Synod
how they would be used, for there is also a need for community buildings such as
schools.
Forever Young This Wednesday, March 21 is Forever Young. It will
be our St. Patrick’s Day celebration. It is potluck. If you would like to
bring some corned beef and cabbage, that would be great! How many hot
dishes and salad will have green in them? We will see!
Palm Crosses On Friday, March 30 starting at 9:00 a.m. we need many,
many hands to put the Palm Crosses together for Palm Sunday. Pastor will
bring the doughnuts. See you on Friday, March 30 at 9:00 a.m.!
Coming in April The LWML will be making cards to share with the residents of Lincoln
