SEWING FOR MISSIONS~ OUR NEXT MEETING WILL BE OCTOBER 4 – 10:00-12:00pm

Hi everyone,

We are excited to be part of the Christmas Child mission and pray that we can continue to bless children through the shoeboxes.

This all happens because of you and your incredible passion and giftings.  Thank you for everything that you are doing so that the shoeboxes are filled and ready for the children. 

We plan on filling 100 boxes from Trinity Lutheran church this year, and appreciate your help in filling the boxes.  We will make the boxes for girls 10-14, sewing hygiene kits for each of these girls.  Also including school supplies, a sewn sundress/skirt, etc.  in their shoes box.  You can also bring supplies – flannel or printed cotton sheets, bias tape, rick rack, narrow elastic, school supplies or $ donations and put it in our Shoebox donation box in the narthex. 

Please see / phone Darlene or Lucille if you need more information.

This year the shoeboxes are going to ten countries: West Africa (Gambia, Guinea Bissau, Sierra Leone, Senegal, Guinea), Cost Rica, El Salvador, Philippines, Nicaragua, and Ukraine.

THANK YOU for all your help,

Lucille & Darlene

PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDARS! TLC’s Annual Christmas Banquet will take place on Saturday, December 16th!

SUNDAY SCHOOL

Sunday School is beginning THIS SUNDAY ~ October 1st.  The children will come to the front of the church for a brief “Children’s Message” and then go to class. 

Please contact Hella if you have any questions or would like to volunteer.

PRAYER FOR SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS:   Lord, we pray for all the teachers of our Sunday School. Just as you told Peter to “feed my lambs,” may our teachers be enabled to teach and train Your children in the way of life. Grant them Your wisdom and knowledge that they may also share it with Your children and help them to grow spiritually.  Amen.

IMPORTANT REMINDER: As the weather turns cold and doors and windows are closed, please be mindful of those with severe allergies to scents and other allergens.  Thank you for your care and concern.

UKRAINE AID FUND UPDATE: As of September 14, 2023, the people of LCC have raised a total of $777,867.89 for the LCC Ukraine Relief Aid Fund. @ Lutheran Church-Canada Donate

REMINDER: Lutheran Church–Canada (LCC)’s Ukraine Aid Fund directly supports our partner church, the Synod of Evangelical Lutheran Churches in Ukraine (SELCU) during this current crisis. The Ukraine Aid Fund established by Concordia Lutheran Mission Society (CLMS) will contribute to rebuilding efforts and other expenses, anticipating the significant financial need that will arise in the aftermath of this current conflict. As auxiliaries of LCC, the funds raised through CLMS, and Lutheran Women’s Missionary League of Canada (LWMLC) to name another example, will be directed to our partner Church in Ukraine through LCC. This is just one of the ways that the various auxiliaries, listed service organizations, and people of our Synod are working together, as one Body under Christ in support of humanitarian works of mercy. Canadian Lutheran World Relief (CLWR) is also working to provide general humanitarian relief in Ukraine through the help of their partner organizations.

Prayer for the Peace of Christ:  Dear Lord Jesus Christ, You are our peace.  You are the one who calmed the sea.  Be our refuge when the storms of life rage around us.  Help us in times of trouble and anxiety.  Calm our fears.  Strengthen our faith.  Let us ever focus our eyes on Your cross, for this the place of true peace.  Through Your precious name we pray.  Amen.  © Portals of Prayer July-September 2023
