This month we have a unique opportunity to multiply our generosity to the poor and needy. Money that you give to Glendale Lutheran for Christian Friends of New Americans before October 31st will be doubled by the Lutheran Foundation of St. Louis.
Christian Friends of New Americans is a LCMS organization that reaches new immigrants who are becoming US citizens. Glendale Lutheran has put together a team of people who are volunteering with CFNA. On October 21st, our team will visit the Peace center where CFNA tutors kids and helps families. We are hoping that our visit will focus our vocation to these new immigrants and especially the Afgans. The team met a couple of Sundays ago. Those who have offered their help is Cathie Albers, Marcia Hempel, Andrea Anderson, the Boehmes, the Aubles, the DeBords, the Frimels, the Chapas, and Ryan.
At our October 17th voters meeting, the council is recommending that we donate at least $10,000 from Bequest funds to CFNA. Ultimately the voters decide to give more or less. It’s exciting to think what God will do with double that money. Give generously because God has been generous to you.
