Many thanks to our picnic team
God gave us a beautiful day on Sunday to enjoy his blessing of fellowship. It could not have happened without the service of various groups and individuals who set up, arranged, served, cooked, cleaned, hauled, donated supplies, and painted faces. You are a blessing many appreciate.

Notes of gratitude
Sure Foundation Lutheran Church in Brandon, South Dakota, and WayForward Resources, both recent Monthly Mission Partners, have sent notes expressing their thanks for your contributions. Excerpts from each are below:
On behalf of everyone at Sure Foundation, I wanted to let you know how much we appreciated your gift to our church! This will go to help support our building project. Our church is so blessed knowing that we have wonderful people who support us. The location of our worship and the size of our church may look different than a lot of churches, but we get the same opportunity to worship our Lord. Pretty cool! It is our prayer that God would continue to bless your church and grow your faith with the truth of the gospel.
In Christ,
Pastor Craig Wilke
Because of your generous donation of $4,611, more people will be able to find a path to stability.
With your support, WayForward Resources served more than 13,000 people last year—a new record in our 40-year history. Our food pantry is distributing the equivalent of more than 100,000 meals a month. 60% of the households in our food and housing programs have children. 98% of housing stability program participants maintained housing and avoided eviction for six months or longer. Thank you so much for this generous gift! We appreciate your ongoing support.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Executive Director Ellen Carlson and Donor Relations Officer Peggy Halloran

Every month, our church body releases a video to highlight a specific project or ministry of some of our brothers and sisters in faith. Last month’s video is about early childhood education, specifically on how a nearby congregation is utilizing a four-tier program through Martin Luther College.
