God’s Work Our Hands this year will feature the work of Global Refuge (formerly Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service). Our Bishop, Rev. Paul Erickson, serves on the Board of Directors. He will be joining us for worship on Sept. 6/7, and after worship, he will give a presentation on the work of Global Refuge and how it has been affected by federal cuts in refugee services. After the presentation, we will go to Fellowship Hall for lunch. Trinity will provide Cousin’s Subs through a Thrivent Grant – please bring sides to go with the subs. After lunch, we will make two types of Neighbor Kits for Global Refuge. Below are the items needed for each kit. We will collect your donations for these kits in August, and then the Thrivent Member Group will supplement the items so we have complete kits to assemble and send to Global Refuge. If you have any questions, contact Pastor Denise.
