News from Haiti

Here are some photos of food distribution with $10,000 grant from Global Missions, ELCA, to provide food to local people and church after political strife and effects from COVID.

"Our brothers and sisters in Haiti have received another container of PPE goods donated by the most generous Harry and Nancy Lukas. This is the third container that has been received by the Lutheran Church in Haiti for distribution to all our congregations as well as others in need. The virus is overwhelming the country and it is a huge help. We also thank our generous congregation for their continued donations to the David Johnson fund which has been able to provide the funds for the port fees and large taxes due on these containers when they arrive in Haiti. Our congregation is a most loving and caring family of God and we especially thank the Lukas's as well as our entire congregation for helping to fund this huge endeavor. Pastor Livenson continues to distribute the PPE and generators to those in need helping to give a little hope to our brothers and sisters in Haiti and assure them of our love and support. Thank you."

Barb's Medical Minute

I am willing to offer my house and yard to anyone who wants to clean it, weed it, fix it, plant it, etc. so you can improve your health. A study has shown that older adults who spent more time engaged in household chores had a bigger hippocampus and frontal lobe in their brain. Trust me, bigger is better. These areas are involved with memory, learning, and thinking skills.

So, researchers suspect that taking care of a home, or yard, or a family may improve both brain and cardiovascular health. See...I’m always willing to help you out! I’m letting you clean my house for your own good!

Now Open for the remainder of 2021!
