Trinity Lutheran Church, 3637 Golf Rd. in Evanston, is hosting a festive Mardi Gras Pancake Dinner

Tuesday, March 4, 2025, 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Raise money to support Global Refuge.

Funds for legal immigration were abruptly and completely cut off by the federal government in late January, stranding hundreds of new immigrant families without the funding and support they had been promised for 90 days after their arrival. Non-profit groups, such as Global Refuge, which support those immigrants, lost all their federal funding as well and now struggle to support the new arrivals. All proceeds from this event will go directly to Global Refuge to fund its ongoing support of legal immigrants.

The Trinity Pancake Dinner on what is traditionally known as Fat Tuesday is a family-friendly event featuring an all-you-can-eat pancake buffet with toppings, sausages and beverages, for a suggested donation of $10 per adult and $5 per child. The event will take place in the Fellowship Hall in the lower level of the church building.

War in Ukraine: Three Years Later

Since Russia invaded Ukraine three years ago, millions of Ukrainians have fled their homes to seek safety in neighboring countries — and been welcomed by Lutheran Disaster Response’s partners in the region. Even as the situation evolves, the impact of this conflict on people’s lives continues.

Your extraordinary generosity gave Lutheran Disaster Response the opportunity to immediately accompany our neighbors in Central and Eastern Europe and to continue to walk with them through recovery and healing.

Finding “humanity and kindness”

In the Roma community of Tury’a Pasika, Lutheran Disaster Response is offering additional education to children. “I want to show them that there is a path beyond the struggles of the tábor [Roma camp] — a future where they can read, write, dream and build a life they choose for themselves,” said Nadia Fontosh, the class teacher.
