The goal of Local and Global Missions is to support our community as well as seek out global projects.
We have several on-going projects that support our local community throughout the year: collecting food and donations for the Isle Food Shelf, Christmas gifts for Isle school students and families, diapers for police to give out, and school supplies. Check out the cabinets in the narthex for current donations. We are excited to support the Thanksgiving Bag project for the Isle Food Shelf headed up by Barb Magnan.
Globally, we supported the ELCA Good Gifts program at Christmas and God’s Global Barnyard which addresses world hunger. This is the “cow” offering the kids collect each month. This year Faith supported 5 young adults serving in Cambodia through the Young Adults in Global Missions or YAGM. This is a one year commitment and requires the young adults to raise some of their support. In addition, we provided opportunities to send cards, emails and encouragement to support the YAGM team. Finally, we supported the International Women’s Leadership Scholarship on Bold Women’s Day in March.
Thank you for your generosity in supporting both our local and global communities. Please keep the Local and Global Missions Team in your prayers as we seek to support out neighbors in need. If you are interested in joining us to care for our neighbors, please contact someone from the team.
