40 Days of Giving
“Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread”
is the stewardship theme this year at First Lutheran. WELCA would like to again challenge the congregation to provide food items so that those that have a need will be able to feel our heartfelt generosity. As we enter into the 40 Days of Lent let us celebrate 40 days of giving, one item daily, 40 items total. Lutheran Social Services this year is relying on generosity to fill their pantry. The panty provides a 3-day emergency food supply to their clients. As we enter into Lent, a time of reflection on God’s abundant generosity in our lives, WELCA is asking members to please consider gifts to the food pantry.
Here is a list of the needed items:
- Canned meat
- Coffee (11 oz. size)
- Tea
- Powdered milk
- Paper towels
- Cereal
- Oatmeal
- Wide Noodles
- Salt & Pepper
- Saltine crackers
- Canned vegetables
- Canned fruit
- Canned Soup
- Boxed sides (potatoes, pasta, rice)
Items can be brought in weekly and placed in the cart by the elevator. Thank you for prayerfully considering this opportunity to share your blessings with others.
