CHRISTMAS MIRACLE OFFERING 2018
For the past 12 years, Peace has created miracles through the Christmas Miracle Offering (CMO.) It's an opportunity for us to shift from the craziness of endless gift giving to meaningful sharing, by spending half as much on gifts and setting aside the other half for those in need.
This year's Christmas Miracle recipients are:
Local: ESL (English as a second language) program at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, Madison, VA
This service ministry of Good Shepherd reaches out to the community to offer education for children and adults learning English as a second language and is currently funded only by grants and donations.
Statewide: Virginia Synod Disaster Response Fund
The Virginia Synod Disaster Response Fund is a designated fund created to provide support for disaster relief through the Virginia Synod, ELCA. The Virginia Synod Disaster Response Fund is a local supplement to the work of Lutheran Disaster Response.
Global: Tent of Nations
The Tent of Nations Project (TON) is a peace and education center located on a 100-acre farm near Bethlehem. TON is surrounded on three sides by Israeli Settlements and one side by the Palestinian village of Nahalin. With a mission to build bridges of understanding, reconciliation, and peace between people and the land, TON works to employ creative, peaceful living in the midst of an increasingly violent situation. We were privileged to host TON leader Daoud Nassar last month.
Contributions to this year’s CMO may be made by noting “CMO” on your check, or by choosing the Christmas Miracle Offering designation when giving online. Not set up for online giving? Contact the office and we will get you started.

Have you heard about our Hungry Hearts No More Backpack program?
Peace Lutheran Church supports Hollymead Elementary children in the “Hungry Hearts No More” backpack program, providing food for those children in need. Identified students receive a bag filled with food for the weekend, long weekend or longer break, three complete meals and snacks for each day. We hope to keep their tummies full and remind them that they are important and worthy.
Our info sheet (see the link below) outlines the items we need regularly. Shelf-stable milk and protein/main dish items are always in demand. Checks to PLC with "Hungry Hearts" in the memo are also welcome! For all the ways you can help (donating food, shopping, financial donations) please see our information sheet.
Join our FACEBOOK GROUP, Local Hungry Hearts No More,
for updates on current needs and how we are serving.
THANK YOU! You’re making a real difference in our neighborhood!
If you are interested in learning more about this program, know someone that could benefit from it and/or would like information on entering into a more active role please contact Jennie Carter plcyouth@gmail.com
