St. Peter, Reedsburg, sends thanks for flooding support
 On behalf of the flood victims from St. Peter, Reedsburg, Rev. Paul Crolius sent a letter of thanks for the prayers and gifts of God's people of the South Wisconsin District. "We praise God for the living hope that we have in Jesus and also for the love and encouragement from others," he wrote. " A great blessing that has come out of the flooding is that many people have assisted in helping and have come together to encourage and help one another. People also in faith have powerfully witnessed to the great hope we have in Jesus..."
It is not too late to make a donation to the South Wisconsin District to be directly applied to affected LCMS congregations in our area. To date over $8,000 has been raised, and many groups offered to help with clean up and repair. See " Rain and floods deluge the District" for details.
Rain and floods deluge the District
Tuesday, July 01, 2008 :: 2259 Views :: Human care
"The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock" (Matthew 7:25).
After June rains that flooded much of the Midwest, many local members' homes and some churches are still uninhabitable. Others are waiting for damage assessments to learn what losses may be covered by insurance.
Would you like to help? Monetary donations will be directed to congregations most in need. Please make checks payable to "South Wisconsin District—LCMS," and note "WI Disaster Relief" on the memo line. Give online
