God’s Work; Our Hands – September 2026
Lutheran World Relief Kits:
The Social Ministry Committee will once again be assembling School Kits and Personal Care Kits for Lutheran World Relief. Last year the LWR School Kits we created and shipped helped children throughout the world, including Tanzania where education is one of the strongest tools for breaking the cycle of poverty. The Personal Care Kits we sent to LWR brought comfort to displaced people because of the earthquake in Turkey and tragedies in many countries, including our U.S. neighbors suffering from wildfires in California, flooding in Texas, and severe weather across the South and Midwest.
Once again, we have set an ambitious goal of 50 School Kits and 75 Personal Care Kits because the needs are great.
The Social Ministry Committee asks for financial donations to help us purchase the supplies for these kits. We will be accepting donations during July and August. Make your check out to Grace Lutheran Church with a memo: LWR Kits.
If you would prefer to purchase an item for these kits yourself, we would be happy to accept donations of 1) bath-size bars of soap 4 or 5 oz in original wrapping or 2) adult-size toothbrushes in original wrapping. These donations can be placed in the plastic tub by the main church entrance, marked “LWR Kit Supplies.” Please make your donations by Labor Day.
God’s Work; Our Hands Sunday on September 13
Mark this day on your calendar because this is when the Social Ministry Committee will be asking for your help in putting the LWR kits together.
Thank you for your continued participation and generosity,
Members of the Social Ministry Committee
