Ezana and Addis were recipients of the Lincoln Habitat for Humanity Thrivent Faith Build in collaboration with area churches of Lincoln, including Sheridan Lutheran Church.

After signing their closing papers, Ezana asked, "Is it really mine?" Yes! Congratulations on becoming a first-time homeowner. Ezana and Addis have worked hard on their sweat equity, provided a down payment, and completed their homeownership education classes. They will make great homeowners!

Program Manager, Theresa, welcomed the family home with a small dedication filled with smiles. The kids are very excited to have their own rooms and plenty of space to play and ride their bikes.

Thank you Thrivent Financial and area churches for sponsoring this Faith Build, ensuring homes are affordable for families like Ezana and Addis. 

Through our partnership with Pine Ridge Reconciliation Center and the Lutheran Lakota Job Corps, Sheridan has partnered with Josephine Standing Soldier, a Lakota beading artist. Josephine and her family make these beautiful crosses for our Confirmation students. Students will receive one of these crosses at their Affirmation of Baptism.

Thank you to all who gave to Souper Bowl of Caring and Souptacular! We raised almost $3,000 for Hunger Ministries at Barnabas Community and Matt Talbot Kitchen and Outreach. You are a blessing!

Since traveling to Haiti is not possible, we are working on connecting with our partners by Zoom. Stay tuned to bulletin announcements or the Sheridan Lutheran Outreach group on Facebook for more information!
