HUNGER JAR - Each week we collect money in this jar to make a difference in the world through our Outreach efforts. All the funds that we collect from this jar go to help in specific ways throughout the world. These funds will be collected through the end of 2021 and are designated to go directly to the ELCA Disaster Response Fund. All money donated goes 100 percent to the disaster.

Lutheran Disaster Response brings God’s hope, healing and renewal to people whose lives have been disrupted by disasters in the United States and around the world. These are some of the most recent places the ELCA has made a difference.

Wendy Sontag, with Spirit of Hope Lutheran Church in Mesa, writes to share the good news of their Seniors Rock ministry, which meets every Thursday for a variety of activities.

Read more in this post, and be sure to share your ministry story with us.

Senior's Rock meets every Thursday where we do a variety of activities. Other than packing lunches for Grace Lutheran, we've sent items to troops and a woman's shelter in the past.

We will have a free will bake sale in November, and the proceeds will be used to buy new items for the Justa Center. Also, we put up gift tags, where the congregation is awesome and helps out.
