Second Mile Giving: June 2021
California Lutheran University
“Second-mile giving” refers to an extra offering toward a special cause. Our second mile giving for June goes to California Lutheran University. The mission of the California Lutheran University is to educate leaders for a global society who are strong in character and judgment, confident in their identity and vocation, and committed to service and justice. Both in and out of the classroom, everyone at Cal Lutheran is committed to helping each student pursue their passions to discover their purpose, and follow that purpose to transform their community—and the world.

ELCA COVID-19 Response Fund
Months may have passed since you last walked in the doors of your congregation and worshiped, face-to-face, with your community of faith. To be sure, being the body of Christ looks and feels differently than it ever has before.
With congregations and ministries across the country, and a network of companion churches and partners in over 70 countries around the world, we anticipate this crisis will affect us all. Your gifts to the ELCA’s COVID-19 Response Fund will provide funds to the ministries of the ELCA most in need and best positioned to help. This includes our congregations as well as local and churchwide ministries capable of reaching and assisting those in need. If you are able, please help with a gift today. Donate Now Food Pantry News
The Thursday food pantry is an essential service in our community, even more so during this crisis. We hope to keep it available to those in need of food and are looking for volunteers who are willing to help with distribution on Thursdays. If you are interested, please contact the Office. We have a good supply of paper bags at the moment, thank you!
Set-up: 4:00—5:00 p.m. Distribution: 5:00—6 p.m. Clean-up: 6—6:30 p.m. The Interfaith Food Pantry was featured in an Argus Courier article on May 28. Click here to read the article. |
