Lutheran World Relief In-Gathering
The boxes of health kits, school kits, sewing kits, and quilts keep coming! The week of filling the trailer is half over and many surrounding churches have made the trip to Norfolk to add to the shipment. Thank you to Pat & Warren Monson who make sure there is someone available to help with the loading and to offer a cup of coffee and a treat! Not only is St. John's blessed, we pray also that the items being collected by Lutheran World Relief find their way to the hands of those who need them most.
