Alabama Tornado Relief Trip: January
Alabama Tornado Relief Trip: January
An (ELCA) Lutheran church in the Easton area is sending a team to Alabama for a Tornado Relief Mission planned for either January 14-21 or 21-28! If you would like to join the team please call Pastor Bjornstad ASAP! The airfare will be under $300 and there shouldn't be too much more expense except for food.

SEPTEMBER FLOODS of the Susquehannah River brought huge amounts of damage to thousands of homes, bringing so much misery to so many families! But thanks to volunteer teams made up of Lutheran congregational members from across NEPA, God's healing and loving hands were revealed! Over more than two weeks, almost every day some kind of relief work was being done! Praise the Lord!

KEN AND DAWN CORBIN, members of Grace Lutheran Church in Hop Bottom, were privileged to attend the East Coast Regional Outreach Conference (ROC) that was held in Lancaster October 7-8. ROCs are being held all over the US to encourage our personal and congregational outreach. Dawn has a heart for outreach and mission and returned from the experience very encouraged by all the excellent speakers and the fellowship of brothers and sisters in Christ. She was especially blessed to hear "Lost and Found" in concert for the first time - on her birthday! She most definitely encourages everyone to attend the next ROC!
