Thanks "Giving" Mission
Last year, many individuals and congregations in the SWD provided funds for Thanksgiving meals to families living in the central city of Milwaukee.
Again this year the SWD is partnering with Brookfield Lutheran Church to provide a goal of 1043 baskets to the pantries.
Please help us reach our goal, first by praying for the mission and the individuals who are preparing, assembling and delivering, and for those who receive them. We also ask for financial help.
Your generosity not only provides nourishment, it also shows the love you have for your neighbor.
Come and help me share your joy and love to others this Thanksgiving!
For more information visit swd.lcms.org or contact Rev. Peter Kelm at the South Wisconsin District Office, 414-464-8100.
