On Saturday, Sept. 27 (10 a.m. - 2 p.m.) the first ever Lutheran folk fair highlighting ethnic ministries in the South Wisconsin District will be held in the gym of Pilgrim Lutheran Church, 6717 W. Center St., Wauwatosa. 

 

The whole community is invited and both young and old will find something of interest. Representatives from the Hmong, Hispanic, English- and French-speaking African immigrant ministries will be on hand to share their various cultures through music, singing, ethnic food and cultural dress. Area congregations that sponsor specialized mission trips are also invited to publicize their activities. Check out display tables of the various ethnic ministries, enjoy the music, taste unique ethnic foods (Hmong egg rolls, Mexican tacos, African meat pies, etc.) and gain a greater appreciation of "oneness in Christ." Each ethnic group will showcase their special culture during one-hour periods:

Matching funds are being applied for through Thrivent Financial’s "Care Abounds in Community" program. Proceeds from this event will benefit the ethnic ministries sponsored by the South Wisconsin District. Other specialized ministry groups are invited to apply for participation. Financial sponsors are also welcome. For more information, contact the Pilgrim church office at (414) 476-0735.   Flyer
