Water is Life: 2023 Synod World Hunger Emphasis

FROM THE WORLD HUNGER SUBCOMMITTEE

As we become more aware of the precious resource of water, we invite you into this focus for the next year in our synod.  Watch the Updates for resources, videos, slideshows, and the roll out of our next “hands on” project, which will be a water bucket for each congregation to decorate and then use as they wish in their churches – to receive noisy offerings, to  auction off to raise funds, to promote water awareness….the possibilities are many!  Here are some photos from the “Water Is Life” focus at English Lutheran, where they are raising money for the ELCA Good Gift of wells ($2500 each).  There are other water-related Good Gifts which include various levels of fundraising, watch for more information about those.  AND we plan to have a special water promotion during Synod Assembly, watch and listen for more info in the Updates and hopefully at the pre-assembly caucuses!
