Offering
This year's assembly offering will go to support the Lutheran Disaster Response, our ELCA ministry that responds to natural and other disasters in the United States and around the world. Find bulletin inserts and other promotional materials here.
Help Build Disaster Buckets
In response to the human disaster at the border a request for tennis shoes (new or gently used for kids and adults) and 15–17-inch backpacks (kid’s size backpacks) have been made. We will have boxes to pack these items into, but if you gather a large amount at your congregation, please bring them packed and labeled.
To assist after natural disaster there is an item called a “Disaster Bucket”, or some may know it as a “Muck Bucket”. The 5-gal bucket (with lid) is full of items that can be used to clean and protect our friends, family, and neighbors. Due to limited space at the Omni Hotel in Corpus Christi we will be building 50 buckets and collecting 50 cases of water, so please only bring 50 of the items you are assigned because we will not have space to store extra items. To minimize the financial impact on our congregations across the Synod we will be dividing the list of items by conference.
