The! Big! Hot! Chili Cook-Off!
$1500 Raised for Bread Basket Food Pantry! Pastor Bjornstad mentioned at the February church council meeting if the council had any ideas for a fundraiser for the Bread Basket of NEPA - N. Scranton food pantry. What happened was FAR beyond his imagination! Thanks to the gumption of God working in Jerry and Bonnie Cornog and MANY others, including Sandra Roberts, the Executive Director of the Bread Basket, a FABULOUS time was had by all on Saturday, May 19th! We praise God for EVERYTHING that happened and we look forward to NEXT YEAR! :) Thanks also to Thrivent Financial for Lutherans and The Association of Lutheran Friends! for their sponsorship!

These very precious children of God have been meeting for two years every Monday evening with Pastor and have been blessed with growing faith and joy in Christ! We have all been blessed as we have witnessed their growing up in our congregation! Praise the Lord!
And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. - Galatians 6:9 An A p o st olic Mission C o n gregat ion of The Lut heran Church Missouri S y nod
