The Opening Eucharist Offering on Friday will go to support the ministry of Tree of Life Congregation. Tree of Life, in Yakima, is our Synod's New Ministry Start to the Latino people in the Yakima Valley. Abiut Fajardo is our Mission Developer from Mexico. The people of Tree of Life offer various opportunities for the community to come and benefit from their hospitality: weekly computer skills training, a bazaar that attracted 250 people, English as a second language, free haircuts for students, a weekly Spanish radio message, and bible studies at the church and several in different homes. The Synod relies on your offerings to fund the Mission Developer and these programs. Offering Total received: $2444
The Closing Eucharist Offering on Sunday will go toward the ELCA Malaria Campaign. A child dies from malaria every 45 seconds. Today we are in a special moment where we could turn this around. Working through Lutheran churches in Africa, the ELCA Malaria Campaign is uniquely positioned to provide mosquito nets, insecticides, medication, health care, education and more to help eliminate deaths from this disease—for good. Offering Total received: $9439.75 plus $1007 reported sent directly by congregations.
