Recently the Sunbury family experienced flooding and extensive damage in their first floor and basement. "How can we help?" was the big question.
First, an online account was set up to help with daily meals for the first 3 weeks, and this has now been extended. CLICK LINK HERE ==> http://www.mealtrain.com?id=mo0ysqy3x8yt Please go to the site, set up your own user account, and you can pick a date to provide a meal. All of the information about food allergies and delivery to the church are on the site. If you don't have a computer, please give Lu Hourihan a call, and she'll do it for you.
The Sunbury's are now looking for a temporary home. If you know of anyone who has a place that the insurance company could lease for them for approximately 3 months, please let them know. There are also opportunities for doing demolition work coming up.
Please keep the family in your prayers through their journey and know that your help is greatly appreciated by them.

Lord of Life sewers are invited to use their gifts in a new ministry. We will be making quilts for Lutheran World Relief. These quilts are distributed worldwide and are used for shelter, warmth, and carrying belongings.
There are specific instructions for these quilts. They will be sewn entirely on a sewing machine and hand tied when complete. We will need people to cut the fabric squares, arrange and pin the squares together, sew them, and finish with hand tying. Anyone is welcome to help.
Look for more information to come on the bulletin board in the narthex.
