Greetings from President Carolyn Holbrook!
In this season of gratitude, I am humbled by the many blessings which the Lord has bestowed upon me. As I reflect and thank the Lord , I think back to the district convention in Everett last June. Among the memorable events is the selection of the mission grants which we will support during this new biennium. This fall, I was blessed to travel to the beautiful state of Alaska where I attended their zone rally where I met so many wonderful ladies serving the Lord!
I was also privileged to worship with the Funny River Lutheran Church in Soldotna, Alaska, which was the first of our mission grants to be funded this biennium. Our district helped to fund the parsonage which will provide the housing needed to have a full-time pastor. What a joy to see how our mites were at work in action! See the photos from the trip.
Every dime and dollar which you put in those little mite boxes blesses our mission grants. We have a goal of raising $80,000 to cover the scholarships and the many ministries your delegates selected. Check the current fully funded grants on the website. The scholarships are paid directly to the schools in the fall and the spring, Your continued financial and prayer support is needed and appreciated. Thank you!
May the Lord bestow His abundant blessings on you and your family as we give Him thanks and praise,
Carolyn
