Baptism. A Source of God's Grace and Blessing!

This Week

Sunday | Jan 18, 2015  |  Second Sunday after Epiphany

God's Global Barnyard Update!

"More than 800 million people -- that's 1 in 8 people in our world today -- are hungry."

At Edina Community Lutheran Church (ECLC) we believe that we are freed in Christ to love and serve our neighbor. Living gratefully and generously begins with the full participation of children, and continues through every age and stage of life. God's Global Barnyard, part of ELCA's Good Gifts and ELCA World Hunger, is our heartfelt response to every person on the planet's need for food.

The Facts: In response, ECLC Kids have brought a weekly offering to buy animals for God's Global Barnyard. Our goal was to collect $500 by the end of 2014. I'm excited to announce that with your help we collected $640 in offerings!

In 2013-2014 we collected enough to buy:
  • 1 sheep for $120
  • 1 share of a cow for $50
  • 14 pigs for $420
  • 5 chickens for $50
This week ECLC Kids will have the opportunity to set our next goal, and vote where we'd like to see our offerings go for the second half of the 2014-15 school year. If you have suggestions, please send them my way by the end of the day Saturday.
Faithfully yours,
Kelly Rowley
