FLORENCE DISASTER RELIEF: HOW YOU CAN HELP
from the Virginia Synod
The winds of Hurricane Florence may not have been as powerful as projected, but this slow moving storm has caused massive flooding in the Carolinas. As a Synod, we join together in praying for comfort and strength for those impacted by the storm and for those who are responding to bring help to others.
Providing Help that is Helpful
The Virginia Synod Office is in communication with Lutheran Disaster Response and Lutheran leaders in North Carolina and South Carolina. A request has been passed along that it is not yet time to respond with "mucking out teams" as flooding continues through at least Wednesday in many areas. As soon as we have contact information for hands-on volunteer opportunities, we will make that information available to the Virginia Synod. Click here to read more from the Virginia Synod.

The cost for both of the above studies is $23; the Parables study alone is $13; Advent alone is $11. Don't let the cost hold you back because we have a scholarship fund. Contact Katy Wessel for more information on these studies or join us on September 11 or 16.

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
