Greetings from LCEF and the South Wisconsin District Staff: 

 

I pray your worship and Bible study during this Lent season has and is bringing you a renewed and energized sense of urgency as we serve our God and His Church.

 

Customer service and service to God has always been an important part of my DNA.  This newsletter will detail many resources for which LCEF can assist you and your congregation.  Likewise, the District is here to serve.    

 

Blessings to you and your family.

 

Yours in Christ,

Diana

Volunteers Needed!
> Pastor Prada needs volunteers for Sunday school!

 

Help! Pastor Alfonso Prada has the wonderful problem of needing more help and volunteers for the children of his Sunday school at St. Martini, Milwaukee. His wife, Rosmy, has been doing it all ... but there are too many children! Though many of these children are Hispanic, they know English, so volunteers don't need to know Spanish. We're looking to find enough volunteers so that each volunteer would be needed only once per month. Time frame is 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. on Sundays. Please call Peg Raabe or Rev. Peter Kelm if you'd like to volunteer (414-464-8101). Thank you!

As an LCEF Advocate, you can help move your ministry forward with Lutheran Church Extension Fund (LCEF), by continuing to promote investment partnerships and ministry services to the members of your congregation.
