Lack of access to safe water is one of the biggest challenges to overcoming poverty. It’s also one of the most powerful opportunities to create change. With a simple water well, spring box or other water point, as many as 500 families gain access to clean, safe water.
The Social Welfare and Evangelism Committees are asking for your participation in this year’s Lenten giving project. We will be raising money to help provide families around the world with access to safe drinking water. We are so privileged to have daily access to drinking water in our homes, schools, and businesses. For many people hours and hours each day are spent trying to gather water for their families and loved ones. Very often this water is polluted or in some way unsafe to drink. The ELCA helps bring simple wells and other water sources to communities in need.
There will be collection folders and piggy banks available. In advance, thank you for your consideration.

“And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!” Philippians 2:8
Holy Week is the most sacred time in the Christian calendar, marking the final days of Jesus’ earthly ministry. It is a journey through suffering, sacrifice, and ultimately, the triumph of Christ over sin and death. Each day carries profound significance, inviting us to reflect on God’s immense love and the price of our redemption.
