National Lutheran World Relief (LWR) shared that thanks to incredible support year round — and HTLC and other quilters and kit-makers — LWR Quilts & Kits were already prepositioned in Texas. Within 12 hours of the flash flooding, they were in the hands of those that needed them most.Â
HTLC quilters are working on making as many quilts and kits as they can to replace all the donations and welcome anyone to help during their next workday, Monday ,July 14th from 9 am – 3 pm in Room 108.Â
There is so much additional help that is still needed in Texas. Families in the flood zone — and beyond — need food, water, shelter and essential supplies and individuals can give online at lwr.org/helptexas.Â
Families, young children, old children, young adults, and wise adults gathered Wednesday evening on July 2nd to enjoy a delicious meal, learn more about Holy Communion, and play picnic games such as ring toss and sack races. Â
It was a nice breezy night with plenty of shade. Â Many enjoyed the delicious pulled pork sandwiches and scrumptious desserts. The adults discussed the Theology of Holy Communion while the children baked communion bread which we all shared prior to our closing prayer. The most entertaining picnic game of the night was donut on a string (yummy). Â
Everyone is invited to our last VBS event of the summer: families, young children, old children, young adults, and wise adults. We will continue our learning about Holy Communion and enjoy an ending camp fireworship with music and communion. Consider bringing dinner items. Sign up is in the gathering area outside the sanctuary or sign up using the link below. All are welcome and we hope to see you there!
July 16th
*Note: In the event of inclement weather, we will still have Whole Church VBS, it will just move inside HTLC.
