Mission...

For a long time, the ELCA has been supporting clinics and programs in Africa to provide health care. Now with the ELCA Malaria Campaign, officially launched at the ELCA Churchwide Assembly in August, the ELCA is joining hands with eleven Lutheran church bodies in Africa and becoming part of a global movement to eliminate deaths from this disease. No child, no person, should die of a disease that is both preventable and treatable.
How you can help: All Sunday School offering that is received between now and November 20 will be given to this campaign. A church-wide offering for this cause will be taken on Unity Sunday, November 20. Donation envelopes are available in Mary/ Martha Hall and the Worship Center. For more information and to watch an informative short video about malaria and the campaign click below.
