Thank you to all who celebrated Christmas in July with lifesaving gifts to God’s children throughout the world. This years’ annual event emphasized healthcare needs supplied by Lutheran Disaster Relief and ELCA World Hunger for those served by Lutheran hospitals, rural health clinics, and missionaries in over 77 countries. Your gifts of vaccinations, health clinic visits and supplies, essential nutrition, and more currently total $15,773.00, helping us to exceed our goal of $10,000. And it is not too late to still make a difference! Contributions to this effort can be made through August 15 by visiting dhlc.org, and clicking on the “Give” tab, choosing gifts, and providing your information. Or a check made out to DHLC with “Christmas in July” in the memo line can be put in the offering boxes or mailed to the church office.
