 At a recent Adult Forum, we were introduced to Hamomi (“Harmony”)
Children’s Centre outside of Nairobi. It is a school for 100 children, of whom
60% are orphaned. They receive an education and two meals a day there.
Many of the confirmation students attending our forum were moved to action. Katie, Anika, Hayley and Nicole have organized two efforts:
- CHANGE FOR CHANGE: There will be a large jar in the Atrium collecting your pocket change for the summer. It adds up quickly, so look for it each week and watch the change amount grow!
- Our BAKE SALE on June 21st made $338, which is enough to feed 56 children for a month!
- FYI - $6 feeds a child at Hamomi for a month. $600 a month feeds all 100 children 2 meals a day for a month.
Thank you for your constant support!

Lutheran youth, their family and members of their congregations and synods have historically been very generous! They come to the Youth Gathering with arms full of gifts to contribute to the in-kind offering, items like cans of food, children’s books, or gift cards. The 2009 ELCA Youth Gathering’s focus on service and recovery in New Orleans makes it necessary to gather gifts earlier so that they can be in New Orleans BEFORE the youth arrive.
This on-line giving opportunity allows us to purchase the items youth will use during their service experiences in New Orleans. The best part is that the items will remain in New Orleans when the ELCA youth leave.
Click here and “shop till you drop” to help the gathering participants and the city of New Orleans!
Women’s Bible Study
It is exciting to gather to read and discuss the Word of God! Our two Women’s Bible Studies are continuing through the summer. We are using the “Women of Faith Study Bible”.
Meeting times are:
- Tuesday, July 7, 7 pm in the Fireside Room
- Saturday, July 11, 10:45 am at the South End QFC
- Tuesday, July 21, 7 pm in the Fireside Room
- Saturday, July 25, 10:45 am at the South End QFC
You do NOT need the Study Bible to participate, and our lessons will be concurrent. So, if you can’t make it to the Saturday meeting, come on Tuesday evening, and if Tuesday evening doesn’t work, come on Saturday morning!
