SEWING FOR MISSIONS~ Our first meeting will be on Wed., Sept 20 from 10-12 pm, here in our church. Elsie from Hope Lutheran church is coming to demonstrate sewing Hygiene/Kleni kits for our mission project. Bring your sewing machine and scissors if you can or come to help with the assembling. 

We will also sew pillowcase sun dresses, boy’s shorts, stuffed fleece animals, back packs, games and more.  We want to share our love and the joy of Jesus and bring smiles to some children’s faces this Christmas.  We will be sewing them for Samaritan’s Purse and Christmas shoe boxes which will be sent to many other countries.

We have already collected flannel sheets, pillow cases (patterned or plain), cotton materials, batting and trims.  We could use your help by donating more flannel sheets, printed flannelette, fleece, cottons and or your $donation to help buy more supplies.

We look forward to good fellowship and having you join the “SAS”.  Phone Lucille or Darlene for more info if needed. SEW AND SEW!!   come and sew with us and be an SAS!

PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDARS! TLC’s Annual Christmas Banquet will take place on Saturday, December 16th!

Prayer for the Peace of Christ:  Dear Lord Jesus Christ, You are our peace.  You are the one who calmed the sea.  Be our refuge when the storms of life rage around us.  Help us in times of trouble and anxiety.  Calm our fears.  Strengthen our faith.  Let us ever focus our eyes on Your cross, for this the place of true peace.  Through Your precious name we pray.  Amen.  © Portals of Prayer July-September 2023

UKRAINE AID FUND UPDATE: As of June 23, 2023, the people of LCC have raised a total of $763,961.28 for the LCC Ukraine Relief Aid Fund. @ Lutheran Church-Canada Donate

REMINDER: Lutheran Church–Canada (LCC)’s Ukraine Aid Fund directly supports our partner church, the Synod of Evangelical Lutheran Churches in Ukraine (SELCU) during this current crisis. The Ukraine Aid Fund established by Concordia Lutheran Mission Society (CLMS) will contribute to rebuilding efforts and other expenses, anticipating the significant financial need that will arise in the aftermath of this current conflict. As auxiliaries of LCC, the funds raised through CLMS, and Lutheran Women’s Missionary League of Canada (LWMLC) to name another example, will be directed to our partner Church in Ukraine through LCC. This is just one of the ways that the various auxiliaries, listed service organizations, and people of our Synod are working together, as one Body under Christ in support of humanitarian works of mercy. Canadian Lutheran World Relief (CLWR) is also working to provide general humanitarian relief in Ukraine through the help of their partner organizations.
