And it’s a wrap…On Sunday, September, 10th, Zion joined other Lutheran churches across the country in God’s Work. Our Hands. We packed a total of 513 school kits after picking up a few extra supplies to complete every bag. Our goal was 500 in honor of the 500th Anniversary of the Reformation.
Each kit cost approximately $6 to complete. That means the total cost would be $3,078. Thanks to the generosity of members who not only helped with the shopping, but also donated their purchases, the $250 gift card from Thrivent, and the thrifty use of coupons, we have a balance of only $900. That is extraordinary.
On Monday, October 9th, the 40 boxes will be delivered to a church in Pennsylvania (thank you, Dan Neuweiller) for transfer to Lutheran World Relief headquarters in Maryland.
Job well done, Zion!
