For over ten years the women of the Thursday Afternoon Bible Study have been making beautiful “Blessing Bags” to give to the CAAFA Organization (Community Alliance Against Family Abuse.) The children there can then pick out a pretty bag to give to their own Mom as a Mother’s Day gift. These bags are filled with a variety of things such as toiletries, make-up, nail polish, hair items, paper and personal products, jewelry, cologne, devotional books, scarves, cards, candy and many other useful items. They are prayed over and sent with the hope that both Mom and child will feel loved and blessed. This year they sent about thirty bags and this picture reflects the women’s happiness in this joyous endeavor. To God be the glory!

Revelation Bible Study -
Tuesday Mornings at 10:30am .
At Spirit of Hope Lutheran or on ZOOM live. See the link below!
https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83028896465
As a guide, we will be using a text book called “Revelation and the End of All Things,” written by Rev. Craig R. Koester who is the Professor of New Testament studies at Luther Seminary (ELCA).
ELCA Pastor, Mark Allan Powell, writes that “In a sense, to “interpret” this book is to misinterpret it, for often the appeal is to the imagination; it’s a book to be experienced, not explained.” Come, experience the Book of Revelation with us!
For questions contact Pastor Tony Scheer – 909-435-5200

You Have Welcomed 121 Ukrainian Refugees to Arizona
The United States has taken an important step in April 2022 to commit to welcoming Ukrainians escaping Russia's invasion. The program, Uniting for Ukraine offers Ukrainian citizens and their immediate family members residing outside the US a chance to come and stay temporarily for up to two years on parole. To participate in this program, Ukrainians must have a supporter in the US who agrees to provide them with financial assistance during their stay. This makes their cases different from the beginning. They were not eligible for the simple benefits that other refugees from across the world receive.
The United states has welcomed more than 100,000 Ukrainians since the invasion. Lutheran social services has served 121 refugees so far in the Tucson and Phoenix area. We have been helping them with immigration applications and benefits including food stamps, medical insurance and other core services. Lutheran Social Services of the Southwest hired Ukrainian case managers to ensure that Ukrainian refugees are served well and comfortable. We are organizing a welcome gathering on June 3rd. Volunteers will be needed at the gathering, email at volunteers@lss-sw.org to sign up.
If you are interested in helping here are ways
Donate funds to welcome Ukrainian refugees and to purchase toys for the children's activities.
Purchase items. Needed donations can be found on Amazon Wishlist.
Donations in the Hunger Jar will continue to be sent to help the people in Ukraine through the Lutheran Disaster Response.
